Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $299,998,000.

 

On December 17, 2021, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of 15,249,920 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to AACS LP at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $15,249,920.

 

A total of $305,997,960, comprised of $293,998,040 of the proceeds from the IPO (which amount includes $10,499,930 of the underwriter’s deferred discount) and $11,999,920 of the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, was placed in a U.S.-based trust account at J.P.
