Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements

Note 1 - Organization and Plan of Business Operations

Lazard Growth Acquisition Corp. I (the “Company”) is a blank check company, incorporated asaCayman Islands exempted company on December 10, 2020. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination withoneormorebusinessesorentities(a“BusinessCombination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company, as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had not commenced any operations. The Company’s business activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily related to completing its initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), and since then, the Company’s activity has been limited to identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition targets for an initial Business Combination. The Company will not generateany operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from theproceedsderivedfromthe Initial Public Offering.TheCompanyhasselectedDecember31asitsfiscalyearend.

The registration statement for the Initial Public Offering became effective on February 9, 2021. On February 12, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 57,500,000 units (the “Units”), including 7,500,000 Units sold upon exercise in full of the underwriter’s over-allotment option, at $10.00 per Unit, which is discussed inNote3,andthesaleof 9,000,000 warrants, including 1,000,000 warrants upon the exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option in full (the “Private Placement Warrants”), at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to LGACo 1LLC(the“Sponsor”),thatclosedsimultaneouslywiththe closing of the Initial Public Offering.

Substantially allof the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. The stock exchange listing rules require that the Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% ofthe netassets held inthe Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the amount of deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account). The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for itnottoberequired toregister asaninvestment company under theInvestment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company agreed that $10.00 per Unit sold in the Initial Public Offering, including a portion of the proceeds ofthe sale of the Private Placement Warrants, were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) to be invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself outasamoney market fund investing solely in U.S. Treasuries and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until theearliestof:(i)thecompletionofa Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s shareholders, as describedbelow.

The Company will provide the holders of the public shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the Business Combination, either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, based on a variety of factors. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their public shares, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination

(initially anticipated to be $10.00per public share), including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, subject to certain limitations.Theper-shareamounttobedistributedtothePublic Shareholders who properly redeem their shares will not bereducedbythedeferredunderwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriter(as discussed in Note 8). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants. The Class A ordinary shares will be recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities fromEquity.”

The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company hasnettangible assets ofat least $5,000,001 and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, it receives an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law approving a Business Combination, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shareholders who attend and vote at a general meeting of the Company. If ashareholder vote is not required and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended andRestated Memorandum andArticles ofAssociation, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor and each of our officers and directors have agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any public shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their public shares, without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for oragainst aproposed BusinessCombination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of the Business Combination and the Company does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the public shares without the Company’s prior written consent.

The Sponsor and each of our officers and directors have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and public shares held by it in connection with (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association that (A) modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption of Class A ordinary shares in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights. Additionally, the Sponsor and each of our officers and directors have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares they hold if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor or each of our officers and directors acquire Public Shares, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

If the Company has not completed a Business Combination withinthe Combination Period, the Company 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 100% of the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal tothe aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, ifany (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish the rights of the Public Shareholders 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 the Company’s remaining Public Shareholders and its Board of Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law toprovideforclaimsof creditorsandtherequirementsofotherapplicablelaw.Therewillbenoredemption

rightsorliquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

The underwriter has agreed towaive their rights to their deferred underwriting commissions (see Note 8) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, and insuchevent, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the public shares. Intheevent ofsuch distribution, itispossible that thepershare value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($10.00).

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than the Company’s independent registeredpublic accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if lessthan $10.00 per public share, due to reductions in the value oftrust assets, ineach case netoftheinterest that may be withdrawn to pay taxes. This liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business that executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriter of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilitiesunder the Securities Act. 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 will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waivinganyright,title,interestorclaimofanykindinortomoniesheldintheTrustAccount.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management is currently evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Liquidity

On March 26, 2021, the Sponsor committed $1,300,000 to be provided to the Company to fund working capital requirements prior to an initial Business Combination. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had cash of $369,556 available for working capital purposes and an additional $610,000, available to be drawn down on the $1,300,000 working capital loan after a drawdown of $690,000 in March 2021. The working capital loan is payable upon the completion of a business combination. As of March 31, 2021, the Company has $550,000 of accrued offering and formation costs. The Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor may, but is not obligated to, loan the Company additional funds as may be needed by the Company. Management expects these sources of funds will provide sufficient liquidity to fund the Company’s working capital needs through the earlier of the consummation of the initial Business Combination or May 11, 2022, one year after the date these financial statements were issued.

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Certain disclosures included in the annual

7

financial statements have been condensed or omitted from these financial statements as they are not required for interim financial statements under U.S. GAAP and the rules of the SEC. These unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period presented. These adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Interim period operating results may not be indicative of the operating results for a full year.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements included in the Company’s final prospectus for the Initial Public Offering filed with the SEC on February 11, 2021, as well as the Company’s annual audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021 or for any future interim periods.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regardingexecutivecompensationinitsperiodicreportsandproxystatements,andexemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companiesfrombeingrequiredto comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means thatwhen a standard is issued or revised and ithasdifferent application dates forpublic orprivate companies,the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor anemerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible becauseofthepotentialdifferencesinaccountingstandardsused.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management tomakeestimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities atthe date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reportingperiod. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and available information. Therefore, actual results could differ from those estimates and could have a material impact on the financial statements.

Cash and Cash Held in Trust Account

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and on deposit at banking institutions as well as all highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of ninety (90) days or less. As of March 31, 2021, the Company held deposits of $369,556 in a demand deposit account and held $575,000,000 in the Trust Account and are characterized as Level I investments within the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820. The cash held in the Trust Account is considered restricted.

8

Deferred Offering Costs

Deferred offering costs consist of legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. These costs, together with the upfront underwriting discounts, the deferred underwriting commissions and the financial advisory fee in connection with the Initial Public Offering were charged to shareholders’ equity and warrants exercisable for Class A ordinary shares upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

Warrants Exercisable for Class A Ordinary Shares

The Company accounts for the warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering in accordance with ASC 480-10, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”, which provides that the Company classifies the warrant instrument as a liability at its fair value and adjusts the instrument to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, in accordance with ASC Topic 815, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s statement of operations.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, "Income Taxes". ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 there were nounrecognizedtaxbenefitsandnoamounts accrued for interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could resultinsignificantpayments,accrualsormaterialdeviationfromitsposition.

The Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the period presented.

Redeemable Shares of Class A Ordinary Shares

As discussed in Note 1, all of the 57,500,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares sold as parts of the Units in the Initial Public Offering contain a redemption feature. In accordance with ASC 480, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require the security to be classified outside of permanent equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity’s equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of ASC 480. Although the Company has not specified a maximum redemption threshold, its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and the provisions of the underwriting agreement provide that in no event will the Company redeem any of its public shares if total requests for redemption would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and will adjust the carrying value of the security at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying value amount of redeemable shares of Class A ordinary shares shall be affected by charges against par value of Class A ordinary shares and additional paid-in capital. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2021, 53,035,211 of the 57,500,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares included in the Units were classified outside of permanent equity at its possible redemption value.

9

Net Income Per Ordinary Share

Net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares issued and outstanding during the period. As of March 31, 2021 the Company had outstanding warrants to purchase up to 20,500,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares. The weighted average of these shares have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share of ordinary shares because the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As of March 31, 2021, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into shares of ordinary shares and then share intheearnings oftheCompany.

The Company’s statement of operations includes a presentation of income per share for ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income (loss) per share. Net income per share, basic and diluted, for redeemable Class A ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the investment income earned on the Trust Account by the weighted average number of redeemable Class A ordinary shares outstanding since original issuance. Net income per share, basic and diluted, for non-redeemable ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the net income, adjusted for income attributable to redeemable Class A ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of non-redeemable ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Non- redeemable ordinary shares includes the Founder Shares as these shares do not have any redemption features and do not participate in the income earned on the Trust Account.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses onthis account and management believes the Company isnotexposedtosignificantrisksonsuchaccounts.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value measurements and disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheets primarily due to their short-term nature. 

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 3 - Initial Public Offering

On February 12, 2021, pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 57,500,000 Units, including 7,500,000 Units sold upon exercise in full of the underwriter’s over-allotment option, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-fifth of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share atanexercisepriceof$11.50perwholeshare, subject to adjustment(seeNote9).

Transaction costs amounted to $32,432,846, consisting of $11,500,000 of underwriting fees (that includes a  $3,000,000 financial advisory fee paid to Lazard Frères & Co. LLC for which the Company was reimbursed by the underwriter), $20,125,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $807,846 of other offering costs.

Note 4 - Private Placement

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 9,000,000 Private Placement Warrants at a priceof $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $13,500,000. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a

10

price of $11.50per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 9). A portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement Warrants were added totheproceeds from theInitial Public Offering to be held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will be used to fund the redemption of the public shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Warrants will expireworthless.

The proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants of $13,500,000 exceeded their estimated fair value of $9,900,000 at the closing of the private placement by $3,600,000, which was recorded in additional paid in capital.

Note 6 - Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Hierarchy of Assets and Liabilities—the Company categorizes its warrants exercisable for Class A ordinary shares, which are recorded at fairvalueinto athree-levelfairvaluehierarchyas follows:

Level 1. Assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2. Assets and liabilities whose values are based on (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, or quotedprices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets, or (ii) inputs other than quoted prices that are directlyobservableorderivedprincipallyfrom,orcorroboratedby, marketdata.

Level 3. Assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservableand significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect our own assumptions about the assumptions a marketparticipant would use in pricing the asset or liability

Level I assets and liabilities at fair value is comprised of only Cash and Cash held in the Trust Account. The company has no other Level I assets or liabilities at fair value and no Level 2 assets or liabilities at fair value at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The company has warrants exercisable for Class A ordinary shares with a fair value of $20,500,000 and $0 and March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. These warrants are classified as Level 3 based on a valuation model that utilizes both observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs include market prices of  warrants issued by other SPACs and unobservable inputs include model adjustments for valuation uncertainty pertaining to the probability of the Company consummating a Business Combination. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy during the three month period ended

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, as described above, its management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis”. The exercise price and number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except in certain circumstances, the Public Warrants will notbeadjusted forissuances ofordinary shares ataprice belowits exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle thePublic Warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held intheTrust Account, holders ofPublic Warrants will notreceive anyof such funds with respect to their Public Warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such Public Warrants. Accordingly, the Public Warrants may expireworthless.

Note 10 - Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, other than as described below, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in these financialstatements.

On April 12, 2021, the Acting Director of the Division of Corporation Finance and Acting Chief Accountant of the SEC together issued a statement regarding the accounting and reporting considerations for warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”) entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by SPACs” (the “SEC Statement”). Specifically, the SEC Statement focused on certain settlement terms and provisions related to certain tender offers that would require the warrants to be classified as a liability remeasured at fair value, with changes in fair value each period reported to earnings.  The terms highlighted by the SEC Statement are similar to those contained in the warrant agreement governing the Company’s warrants.  Therefore, the Company concluded that its classification and measurement of the warrants as derivative liabilities under ASC Topic 480, and ASC Topic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity is consistent with the SEC Statement.  The Warrants meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815 and the Company has recorded the warrants as derivative liabilities on the balance sheet, measured at fair value in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, with changes in fair value recognized in the Statement of Operations. See Note 2, Note 6 and Note 7.

Overview

We are a blank check company, incorporated 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. Lazard Ltd, an affiliate of our Sponsor, intends to use resources across its international financial advisory and asset management businesses to source and evaluate attractive, high growth private companies. Although we are not limited to a particular industry or geographic region in our identification and acquisition of a target company, we believe the growth-oriented subsectors of the healthcare, technology, energy transition, financial and consumer sectors present particularly attractive investment opportunities.

At March 31, 2021, we had cash of $369,556 and cash held in a Trust Account of $575,000,000, current liabilities of $1,240,000, deferred underwriting commission payable of $20,125,000 and warrants for the purchase of Class A ordinary shares of $20,500,000. Further, we expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete an Initial Business Combination will be successful.

Results of Operations

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we had net income of $1,103,432, which consisted primarily of an unrealized gain on the fair value of warrants exercisable for Class A ordinary shares of $2,050,000 that was partially offset by offering costs that were expensed of $713,523 upon the closing of our Initial Public Offering. Our business activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily related to completing our Initial Public Offering, and since the offering, our activity has been limited to identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition targets for an initial Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial Business Combination. We expect to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash held in the Trust Account. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On February 12, 2021, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 57,500,000 of our Units, including 7,500,000 Units sold upon exercise in full of the underwriter’s over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, $0.0001 par value per share, and one-fifth of one Public Warrant, with each whole Public Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $575,000,000. Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC acted as Book-Running Manager. The securities sold in the Initial Public Offering were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-252408), which was declared effective by the SEC on February 9, 2021.

Simultaneously with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the issuance and sale of the Units, the Company consummated the sale to the Sponsor of 9,000,000 Private Placement Warrants, with each Private Placement Warrant exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share subject to adjustment, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds of $13,500,000. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that, so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, (i) they will not be redeemable by us, (ii) they (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of these Private Placement Warrants) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by our Sponsor until 30 days after the completion of our initial Business Combination, (iii) they may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis and (iv) they will be entitled to registration rights.

A total of $575,000,000, comprised of $563,500,000 of the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and $11,500,000 of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, was placed in the Trust Account. Transaction costs amounted to $32,432,846, consisting of $11,500,000 of underwriting fees (a net underwriting fee of $8,500,000 after giving effect to the underwriter’s reimbursement of the Company for $3,000,000 of financial advisory fees payable by the Company to Lazard Frères & Co. LLC), $20,125,000 of deferred underwriting fees (as may be reduced as a result of the underwriter’s reimbursement to the Company for certain financial advisory fees payable by the Company to Lazard Frères & Co. LLC) and $807,846 of other offering costs.

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less taxes payable and deferred underwriting commissions), to complete our initial Business Combination. We may withdraw interest income (if any) to pay taxes, if any. Our annual income tax obligations will depend on the amount of interest and other income earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account. We expect the interest income earned on the amount in the Trust Account (if any) will be sufficient to pay our income taxes. Any remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, the Sponsor has, as of March 31, 2021, committed $1,300,000 to be provided to us to fund our expenses relating to investigating and selecting a target business and other working capital requirements prior to our initial Business Combination. In addition, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor may, but is not obligated to, loan us additional funds as may be required. If we complete our initial Business Combination, we may repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. In the event that our initial Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $2,000,000 of such loans made available from the Sponsor or its affiliates may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such additional loans have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. Prior to the completion of our initial Business Combination, we do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our Sponsor or its affiliates as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our Trust Account.

We may need to obtain additional financing to complete our initial Business Combination, either because the transaction requires more cash than is available from the proceeds held in the Trust Account, or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of the Business Combination, in

18

which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. If we have not consummated our initial Business Combination within the required time period because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we would be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account.

Off-balance sheet financing arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or entered into any non-financial agreements involving assets.

Contractual obligations

At March 31, 2021, we did not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities. On February 10, 2021, we entered into an administrative support agreement pursuant to which we have agreed to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $20,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services. Upon the earlier of the completion of the Initial Business Combination and the Company’s liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees.

The underwriter of the Initial Public Offering received a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $11,500,000 in the aggregate, upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the underwriter will be entitled to deferred commissions of $0.35 per Unit, or $20,125,000 in the aggregate. The deferred underwriting discount will be paid to the underwriter solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination within the time required, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements, and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following as our critical accounting policies:

Net Income Per Ordinary Share

We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Net income per share of ordinary shares is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. We apply the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Adjustments associated with the redeemable shares of Class A ordinary shares under ASC Topic 480-S993 are excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value and we elect to reflect changes in redemption value immediately as they occur through Additional-Paid-In-Capital.

As of March 31, 2021, we had outstanding warrants to purchase of up to 20,500,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares. The weighted average of these shares was excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share of ordinary shares since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As of March 31, 2021, we did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into shares of ordinary shares and then share in our earnings. As a result, diluted income per common share is the same as basic income per common share for the period.

19

Deferred Offering Costs

We comply with the requirements of the ASC Topic 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A —“Expenses of Offering.” We incurred offering costs in connection with our Initial Public Offering of $807,846. These costs, together with the upfront underwriter discount and deferred discount of $31,625,000, were charged to the shares of our Class A ordinary shares and warrants upon the closing of our Public Offering.

Warrants

Under ASC Topic 815, we have classified issued warrants as liabilities remeasured at fair value, with changes in fair value each period reported to earnings. 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

As of March 31, 2021, we were not subject to any market or interest rate risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In addition, no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

None.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There were no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2020.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Simultaneously with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the issuance and sale of the Units, the Company consummated the sale to the Sponsor of 9,000,000 Private Placement Warrants, each exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share subject to adjustment, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds of $13,500,000. This issuance was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that, so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, (i) they will not be redeemable by us, (ii) they (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of these Private Placement Warrants) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by our Sponsor until 30 days after the completion of our initial Business Combination, (iii) they may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis and (iv) they will be entitled to registration rights.

No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sales.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

Not applicable.

Item 5. Other Information.

Departure of Director

Effective May 11, 2021, Mr. Adam Berlew resigned his positions as a member of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) and as a member of the compensation committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”).

Organization and Plan of Business Operations

Note 1 - Organization and Plan of Business Operations

Lazard Growth Acquisition Corp. I (the “Company”) is a blank check company, incorporated asaCayman Islands exempted company on December 10, 2020. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination withoneormorebusinessesorentities(a“BusinessCombination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company, as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had not commenced any operations. The Company’s business activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily related to completing its initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), and since then, the Company’s activity has been limited to identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition targets for an initial Business Combination. The Company will not generateany operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from theproceedsderivedfromthe Initial Public Offering.TheCompanyhasselectedDecember31asitsfiscalyearend.

The registration statement for the Initial Public Offering became effective on February 9, 2021. On February 12, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 57,500,000 units (the “Units”), including 7,500,000 Units sold upon exercise in full of the underwriter’s over-allotment option, at $10.00 per Unit, which is discussed inNote3,andthesaleof 9,000,000 warrants, including 1,000,000 warrants upon the exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option in full (the “Private Placement Warrants”), at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to LGACo 1LLC(the“Sponsor”),thatclosedsimultaneouslywiththe closing of the Initial Public Offering.

Substantially allof the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. The stock exchange listing rules require that the Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% ofthe netassets held inthe Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the amount of deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account). The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for itnottoberequired toregister asaninvestment company under theInvestment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company agreed that $10.00 per Unit sold in the Initial Public Offering, including a portion of the proceeds ofthe sale of the Private Placement Warrants, were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) to be invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself outasamoney market fund investing solely in U.S. Treasuries and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until theearliestof:(i)thecompletionofa Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s shareholders, as describedbelow.

The Company will provide the holders of the public shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the Business Combination, either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, based on a variety of factors. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their public shares, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination (initially anticipated to be $10.00 per public share), including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, subject to certain limitations.Theper-shareamounttobedistributedtothePublic Shareholders who properly redeem their shares will not bereducedbythedeferredunderwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriter (as discussed in Note 8). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants. The Class A ordinary shares will be recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities fromEquity.”

The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company hasnettangible assets ofat least $5,000,001 and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, it receives an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law approving a Business Combination, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shareholders who attend and vote at a general meeting of the Company. If ashareholder vote is not required and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended andRestated Memorandum andArticles ofAssociation, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor and each of our officers and directors have agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any public shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their public shares, without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for oragainst aproposed BusinessCombination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of the Business Combination and the Company does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the public shares without the Company’s prior written consent.

The Sponsor and each of our officers and directors have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and public shares held by it in connection with (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association that (A) modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption of Class A ordinary shares in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights. Additionally, the Sponsor and each of our officers and directors have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares they hold if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor or each of our officers and directors acquire Public Shares, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

If the Company has not completed a Business Combination withinthe Combination Period, the Company 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 100% of the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal tothe aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, ifany (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish the rights of the Public Shareholders 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 the Company’s remaining Public Shareholders and its Board of Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law toprovideforclaimsof creditorsandtherequirementsofotherapplicablelaw.Therewillbenoredemptionrightsorliquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

The underwriter has agreed towaive their rights to their deferred underwriting commissions (see Note 8) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, and insuchevent, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the public shares. Intheevent ofsuch distribution, itispossible that thepershare value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($10.00).

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than the Company’s independent registeredpublic accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if lessthan $10.00 per public share, due to reductions in the value oftrust assets, ineach case netoftheinterest that may be withdrawn to pay taxes. This liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business that executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriter of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilitiesunder the Securities Act. 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 will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waivinganyright,title,interestorclaimofanykindinortomoniesheldintheTrustAccount.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management is currently evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Liquidity

On March 26, 2021, the Sponsor committed $1,300,000 to be provided to the Company to fund working capital requirements prior to an initial Business Combination. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had cash of $369,556 available for working capital purposes and an additional $610,000, available to be drawn down on the $1,300,000 working capital loan after a drawdown of $690,000 in March 2021. The working capital loan is payable upon the completion of a business combination. As of March 31, 2021, the Company has $550,000 of accrued offering and formation costs. The Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor may, but is not obligated to, loan the Company additional funds as may be needed by the Company. Management expects these sources of funds will provide sufficient liquidity to fund the Company’s working capital needs through the earlier of the consummation of the initial Business Combination or May 11, 2022, one year after the date these financial statements were issued.

Significant Accounting Policies

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Certain disclosures included in the annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted from these financial statements as they are not required for interim financial statements under U.S. GAAP and the rules of the SEC. These unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period presented. These adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Interim period operating results may not be indicative of the operating results for a full year.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements included in the Company’s final prospectus for the Initial Public Offering filed with the SEC on February 11, 2021, as well as the Company’s annual audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021 or for any future interim periods.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regardingexecutivecompensationinitsperiodicreportsandproxystatements,andexemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companiesfrombeingrequiredto comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means thatwhen a standard is issued or revised and ithasdifferent application dates forpublic orprivate companies,the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor anemerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible becauseofthepotentialdifferencesinaccountingstandardsused.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management tomakeestimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities atthe date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reportingperiod. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and available information. Therefore, actual results could differ from those estimates and could have a material impact on the financial statements.

Cash and Cash Held in Trust Account

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and on deposit at banking institutions as well as all highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of ninety (90) days or less. As of March 31, 2021, the Company held deposits of $369,556 in a demand deposit account and held $575,000,000 in the Trust Account and are characterized as Level I investments within the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820. The cash held in the Trust Account is considered restricted.

Deferred Offering Costs

Deferred offering costs consist of legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. These costs, together with the upfront underwriting discounts, the deferred underwriting commissions and the financial advisory fee in connection with the Initial Public Offering were charged to shareholders’ equity and warrants exercisable for Class A ordinary shares upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

Warrants Exercisable for Class A Ordinary Shares

The Company accounts for the warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering in accordance with ASC 480-10, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”, which provides that the Company classifies the warrant instrument as a liability at its fair value and adjusts the instrument to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, in accordance with ASC Topic 815, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s statement of operations.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, "Income Taxes". ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 there were nounrecognizedtaxbenefitsandnoamounts accrued for interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could resultinsignificantpayments,accrualsormaterialdeviationfromitsposition.

The Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the period presented.

Redeemable Shares of Class A Ordinary Shares

As discussed in Note 1, all of the 57,500,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares sold as parts of the Units in the Initial Public Offering contain a redemption feature. In accordance with ASC 480, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require the security to be classified outside of permanent equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity’s equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of ASC 480. Although the Company has not specified a maximum redemption threshold, its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and the provisions of the underwriting agreement provide that in no event will the Company redeem any of its public shares if total requests for redemption would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and will adjust the carrying value of the security at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying value amount of redeemable shares of Class A ordinary shares shall be affected by charges against par value of Class A ordinary shares and additional paid-in capital. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2021, 53,035,211 of the 57,500,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares included in the Units were classified outside of permanent equity at its possible redemption value.

Net Income Per Ordinary Share

Net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares issued and outstanding during the period. As of March 31, 2021 the Company had outstanding warrants to purchase up to 20,500,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares. The weighted average of these shares have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share of ordinary shares because the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As of March 31, 2021, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into shares of ordinary shares and then share intheearnings oftheCompany. Asaresult,dilutedincomepershareisthesameasbasicincomepersharefortheperiodpresented.

The Company’s statement of operations includes a presentation of income per share for ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income (loss) per share. Net income per share, basic and diluted, for redeemable Class A ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the investment income earned on the Trust Account by the weighted average number of redeemable Class A ordinary shares outstanding since original issuance. Net income per share, basic and diluted, for non-redeemable ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the net income, adjusted for income attributable to redeemable Class A ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of non-redeemable ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Non- redeemable ordinary shares includes the Founder Shares as these shares do not have any redemption features and do not participate in the income earned on the Trust Account.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses onthis account and management believes the Company isnotexposedtosignificantrisksonsuchaccounts.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value measurements and disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheets primarily due to their short-term nature. 

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements

Note 6 - Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Hierarchy of Assets and Liabilities—the Company categorizes its warrants exercisable for Class A ordinary shares, which are recorded at fairvalueinto athree-levelfairvaluehierarchyas follows:

Level 1. Assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2. Assets and liabilities whose values are based on (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, or quotedprices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets, or (ii) inputs other than quoted prices that are directlyobservableorderivedprincipallyfrom,orcorroboratedby, marketdata.

Level 3. Assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservableand significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect our own assumptions about the assumptions a marketparticipant would use in pricing the asset or liability

Level I assets and liabilities at fair value is comprised of only Cash and Cash held in the Trust Account. The company has no other Level I assets or liabilities at fair value and no Level 2 assets or liabilities at fair value at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The company has warrants exercisable for Class A ordinary shares with a fair value of $20,500,000 and $0 and March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. These warrants are classified as Level 3 based on a valuation model that utilizes both observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs include market prices of  warrants issued by other SPACs and unobservable inputs include model adjustments for valuation uncertainty pertaining to the probability of the Company consummating a Business Combination. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy during the three month period ended March 31, 2021.

Theregistration rights agreement does not contain liquidating damages or other cash settlement provisions resulting from delays inregistering the Company’s securities. The Company will bear the expenses incurred inconnectionwith thefiling ofany such registrationstatements.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to 7,500,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments at the Initial Public Offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriter exercised this over-allotment option in full on February 10, 2021.

The underwriter received a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $11,500,000 in the aggregate, upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the underwriter will be entitled to deferred commissions of $0.35 per Unit, or $20,125,000 in the aggregate.

The Public Warrants will expire five years from the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption orliquidation.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration, or a valid exemption from registration is available. No warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue a Class A ordinary share upon exercise of a warrant unless the Class A ordinary share issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt underthesecuritieslawsofthestateofresidenceoftheregisteredholderofthewarrants.

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days after the closing of a Business Combination, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Class Aordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, and the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days after the closing ofaBusiness Combination, andto maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement and a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement; provided that if the Class A ordinary shares are at the time of any exercise ofawarrant notlistedonanational securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption isnotavailable.Ifaregistrationstatement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th day after the closing of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption, but the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is notavailable.

Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00.

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants (except as described with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

• in whole and not in part;

• at a price of $0.01 perwarrant;

• 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 trading days before the Companysendsthenoticeofredemptiontothewarrantholders.

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 securitieslaws.

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:

• in whole and not in part;

• at $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;

• if, and only if, the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $10.00 per public share (as adjusted) on the trading day prior to the date the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrantholders.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, as described above, its management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis”. The exercise price and number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation.

Subsequent Events

Note 10 - Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, other than as described below, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in these financialstatements.

On April 12, 2021, the Acting Director of the Division of Corporation Finance and Acting Chief Accountant of the SEC together issued a statement regarding the accounting and reporting considerations for warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”) entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by SPACs” (the “SEC Statement”). Specifically, the SEC Statement focused on certain settlement terms and provisions related to certain tender offers that would require the warrants to be classified as a liability remeasured at fair value, with changes in fair value each period reported to earnings.  The terms highlighted by the SEC Statement are similar to those contained in the warrant agreement governing the Company’s warrants.  Therefore, the Company concluded that its classification and measurement of the warrants as derivative liabilities under ASC Topic 480, and ASC Topic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity is consistent with the SEC Statement.  The Warrants meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815 and the Company has recorded the warrants as derivative liabilities on the balance sheet, measured at fair value in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, with changes in fair value recognized in the Statement of Operations. See Note 2, Note 6 and Note 7.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Certain disclosures included in the annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted from these financial statements as they are not required for interim financial statements under U.S. GAAP and the rules of the SEC. These unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period presented. These adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Interim period operating results may not be indicative of the operating results for a full year.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements included in the Company’s final prospectus for the Initial Public Offering filed with the SEC on February 11, 2021, as well as the Company’s annual audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021 or for any future interim periods.

Emerging Growth Company

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regardingexecutivecompensationinitsperiodicreportsandproxystatements,andexemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companiesfrombeingrequiredto comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means thatwhen a standard is issued or revised and ithasdifferent application dates forpublic orprivate companies,the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor anemerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible becauseofthepotentialdifferencesinaccountingstandardsused.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management tomakeestimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities atthe date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reportingperiod. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and available information. Therefore, actual results could differ from those estimates and could have a material impact on the financial statements.

Cash and Cash Held in Trust Account

Cash and Cash Held in Trust Account

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and on deposit at banking institutions as well as all highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of ninety (90) days or less. As of March 31, 2021, the Company held deposits of $369,556 in a demand deposit account and held $575,000,000 in the Trust Account and are characterized as Level I investments within the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820. The cash held in the Trust Account is considered restricted.

Deferred Offering Costs

Deferred Offering Costs

Deferred offering costs consist of legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. These costs, together with the upfront underwriting discounts, the deferred underwriting commissions and the financial advisory fee in connection with the Initial Public Offering were charged to shareholders’ equity and warrants exercisable for Class A ordinary shares upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

Warrants Exercisable for Class A Ordinary Shares

Warrants Exercisable for Class A Ordinary Shares

The Company accounts for the warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering in accordance with ASC 480-10, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”, which provides that the Company classifies the warrant instrument as a liability at its fair value and adjusts the instrument to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, in accordance with ASC Topic 815, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s statement of operations.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, "Income Taxes". ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 there were nounrecognizedtaxbenefitsandnoamounts accrued for interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could resultinsignificantpayments,accrualsormaterialdeviationfromitsposition.

The Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the period presented.

Redeemable Shares of Class A Ordinary Shares

Redeemable Shares of Class A Ordinary Shares

As discussed in Note 1, all of the 57,500,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares sold as parts of the Units in the Initial Public Offering contain a redemption feature. In accordance with ASC 480, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require the security to be classified outside of permanent equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity’s equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of ASC 480. Although the Company has not specified a maximum redemption threshold, its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and the provisions of the underwriting agreement provide that in no event will the Company redeem any of its public shares if total requests for redemption would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and will adjust the carrying value of the security at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying value amount of redeemable shares of Class A ordinary shares shall be affected by charges against par value of Class A ordinary shares and additional paid-in capital. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2021, 53,035,211 of the 57,500,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares included in the Units were classified outside of permanent equity at its possible redemption value.

Net Income Per Ordinary Share

Net Income Per Ordinary Share

Net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares issued and outstanding during the period. As of March 31, 2021 the Company had outstanding warrants to purchase up to 20,500,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares. The weighted average of these shares have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share of ordinary shares because the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As of March 31, 2021, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into shares of ordinary shares and then share intheearnings oftheCompany. Asaresult,dilutedincomepershareisthesameasbasicincomepersharefortheperiodpresented.

The Company’s statement of operations includes a presentation of income per share for ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income (loss) per share. Net income per share, basic and diluted, for redeemable Class A ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the investment income earned on the Trust Account by the weighted average number of redeemable Class A ordinary shares outstanding since original issuance. Net income per share, basic and diluted, for non-redeemable ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the net income, adjusted for income attributable to redeemable Class A ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of non-redeemable ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Non- redeemable ordinary shares includes the Founder Shares as these shares do not have any redemption features and do not participate in the income earned on the Trust Account.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses onthis account and management believes the Company isnotexposedtosignificantrisksonsuchaccounts.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value measurements and disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheets primarily due to their short-term nature.

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
