FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

NOTE 10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

 

  Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

 

  Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

 

  Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2021, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

 

                    
   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
Liabilities:                     
Warrant Liabilities:                    
Public Warrants  $4,874,922   $   $   $4,874,922 
Private Placement Warrants  $   $   $2,799,969   $2,799,969 
Total Warrant Liabilities:  $4,874,922   $   $2,799,969   $7,674,891 
FPA  $   $   $150,000   $150,000 

 

The Warrants liabilities and FPA were accounted for in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liabilities and FPA on our balance sheet. The warrant liabilities and FPA are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liabilities and change in fair value of FPA, respectively, in the statement of operations.

 

Level 1 instruments include the Public Warrants. The Company uses inputs such as actual trade data, benchmark yields, quoted market prices from dealers or brokers, and other similar sources to determine the fair value of its investments. The Public Warrants for periods where no observable traded price was available are valued using a barrier option simulation. For the period ended December 31, 2021 (the periods subsequent to the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units), the Public Warrant quoted market price was used as the fair value as of each relevant date.

 

Initial Measurement

 

Warrants

 

The Warrants were accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liabilities on our condensed balance sheets. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the condensed statements of operations.

 

The Private Warrants were valued using a Modified Black Scholes Option Pricing Model, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. The Modified Black Scholes model’s primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair value of the Private Warrants is the expected volatility of the ordinary shares. The expected volatility as of the IPO date was derived from observable public warrant pricing on comparable ‘blank-check’ companies without an identified target. The expected volatility as of subsequent valuation dates was implied from the Company’s own public warrant pricing.

 

     

 

 

  December 31, 
Input  2021 
Risk-free interest rate   1.25%
Expected term (years)   5 
Expected Volatility   14.8%
Exercise Price  $11.50 
Share price  $11.50 

 

The following table presents a summary of the changes in the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants, a Level 3 liability, measured on a recurring basis.

 

     
Fair Value as of August 6, 2021  $3,524,667 
Change in valuation inputs or other assumptions(1)  $(724,698)
Fair Value as of December 31, 2021  $2,799,969

FPA

 

The FPA were valued using a discounted cash flows method, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. Under the discounted cash flow method utilized, the aggregate commitment of $200 million pursuant to the FPA is discounted to present value and compared to the fair value of the ordinary shares and warrants to be issued pursuant to the FPA. The fair value of the ordinary shares and warrants to be issued under the FPA are based on the public trading price of the Units issued in the Company’s IPO. The excess (liability) or deficit (asset) of the fair value of the ordinary shares and warrants to be issued compared to the $50 million fixed commitment is then reduced to account for the probability of consummation of the Business Combination. The primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair value of the FPA is the probability of consummation of the Business Combination. As of December 31, 2021, the probability assigned to the consummation of the Business Combination was 95% which was determined based on observed success rates of business combinations for special purpose acquisition companies.

 

     
Fair Value as of August 6, 2021 – Liability  $100,000 
Change in valuation inputs or other assumptions(1)  $(250,000)
