SPAC Sponsor [Table Text Block]
Pursuant to a letter agreement to be entered with us, we have agreed not to enter into a definitive agreement regarding an initial business combination without the prior consent of our sponsor. Further, pursuant to such letter agreement, each of our sponsor, directors and officers has agreed to restrictions on its ability to transfer, assign, or sell founder shares, private placement units and public units (if any are purchased in connection with the offering), as summarized in the table below. For more information on non-contractual resale restrictions, also

the 180 day Transfer 
restriction after the date of this prospectus that is described under the column “Transfer restrictions” to the left of this column, the underwriting agreement authorizes registration with the SEC pursuant to the Registration Rights and Shareholder Rights Agreement of the resale of the founder shares, the private placement units (including any private placement units issued upon conversion of working capital loans) and their underlying securities, the exercise of the private placement warrants and the public warrants and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants or conversion of founder shares.
Private Placement Units and underlying securities    No Transfer until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination. Further, no Transfer of any Class A ordinary shares, Class B ordinary shares or any other securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, ordinary shares until 180 days after the date of this prospectus.    Our sponsor, directors and officers    Same as above.
Public Units and underlying securities (if any are purchased in connection with the offering)    No Transfer of any Class A ordinary shares, Class B ordinary shares or any other securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, ordinary shares until 180 days after the date of this prospectus.    Our sponsor, directors and officers    Same as above.
 
The letter agreement also provides that the sponsor and each director and officer agree to vote any founder shares, private placement shares included in private placement units and any public shares they may own in favor of a proposed initial business combination if we seek shareholder approval for such business combination and in favor of any proposals recommended by our board of directors in connection with such business combination (except with respect to any such public shares which may not be voted in favor of approving the business combination transaction in accordance with the requirements of Rule
14e-5
under the Exchange Act and any SEC interpretations or guidance relating thereto). Further, our sponsor, directors and officers also agree not to redeem any public shares they may hold in connection with such shareholder approval. The letter agreement may not be changed, amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed by (i) each director and officer signatory to the letter agreement with respect to herself or himself, as applicable, to the extent she or he are the subject of any such change, amendment, modification or waiver, (ii) us, and (iii) our sponsor. Changes, amendments, modifications or waivers to the Transfer restriction that lasts for 180 days after the date of this prospectus will require the written consent of the representatives of the underwriters of this offering. While we do not expect our board to approve any amendment to the letter agreement prior to our initial business combination, it may be possible that our board, in exercising its business judgment and subject to its fiduciary duties, chooses to approve one or more amendments to the letter agreement. Any such amendments to the letter agreement would not require approval from our shareholders and may have an adverse effect on the value of an investment in our securities. For more information, also see “
Risk Factors—Risks Relating to our
Sponsor and Management Team—Our letter agreement with our sponsor, officers and directors may be amended
without shareholder approval” and “Underwriting—Contractual Transfer Restrictions in the Letter Agreement and Underwriting Agreement
.”
In order to facilitate our initial business combination or for any other reason determined by our sponsor, our sponsor may, with our consent, (i) surrender or forfeit, transfer or exchange our founder shares, private placement units or any of our other securities held by it, including for no consideration in connection with a PIPE financing or otherwise, (ii) subject any such securities to earn-outs or other restrictions, and (iii) enter into any other arrangements with respect to any such securities.
We may approve an amendment or waiver of the letter agreement that would allow the sponsor to directly, or members of our sponsor to indirectly, transfer founder shares and private placement units or membership interests in our sponsor in a transaction in which the sponsor or Bain removes itself as our sponsor before identifying a business combination. As a result, there is a risk that Bain and its affiliates, our sponsor and our officers and directors may divest their ownership or economic interests in us or in our sponsor, which would likely result in our loss of certain key personnel, including Angelo Rufino, Jeffrey Chung, Patrick Dury, Barnaby
Lyons
and David J. Greenwald. There can be no assurance that any replacement sponsor or key personnel will successfully identify a business combination target for us, or, even if one is so identified, successfully complete such business combination.
Other Considerations and Conflicts of Interest
We are not prohibited from pursuing an initial business combination or subsequent transaction with a company that is affiliated with Bain or our sponsor, officers or directors. In the event we seek to complete our initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with Bain, our sponsor or any of our officers or directors, we, or a committee of independent directors, will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or an independent valuation or accounting firm that such initial business combination or transaction is fair to our company from a financial point of view. We are not required to obtain such an opinion in any other context (except as described herein in a situation where our board is not able to independently determine the fair market value of the target business or businesses).

Reimbursement for any

Services in connection with identifying, investigating and completing an initial business combination
 
(1)
If we increase or decrease the size of the offering pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act, we will effect a share capitalization or a share repurchase or redemption or other appropriate mechanism, as applicable, with respect to our Class B ordinary shares immediately prior to the consummation of the offering in such amount as to maintain the ownership of founder shares by our initial shareholders, on an as-converted basis, at 20% of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares upon the consummation of this offering (not including the private placement shares), which would maintain the same relative dilution from such Class B ordinary shares prior to any such increase or decrease in the size of this offering.
 
(2)
As described below under “
Offering—Founder shares conversion and anti-dilution rights
,” the founder shares and Class A ordinary shares issuable in connection with the conversion of the founder shares may result in material dilution to our public shareholders due to the nominal price of $0.0022 per founder share at which our sponsor and independent director nominee purchased the founder shares and/or the
anti-dilution
rights of our founder shares that may result in an issuance of Class A ordinary shares on a greater than
one-to-one
basis upon conversion in connection with and following the closing of our initial business combination. The Class A ordinary shares issuable in connection with the conversion of the founder shares, and any private placement shares of the post-business combination entity issuable in connection with the conversion of up to $1,500,000 of loans from our sponsor, members of our management team or their affiliates or other third parties, at a price of $10.00 per unit, may result in material dilution to our public shareholders. Such dilution could materially increase to the extent that the anti-dilution provision of the founder shares, as described below, results in the issuance of Class A ordinary shares on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion of the founder shares at the time of our initial business combination to maintain the number of founder shares at 20%. This anti-dilution provision provides that the founder shares are convertible at the option of the holders thereof into Class A ordinary shares such that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all founder shares will equal in the aggregate on an
as-converted
basis 20% of the sum of the total number of ordinary shares issued and outstanding (excluding the private placement shares) upon the consummation of this offering, plus the total number of shares issued in connection with an initial business combination, as described under “
Offering—Founder shares conversion and anti-dilution right
s” and “
Description of Securities—Founder Shares
,” which may result in material dilution to public shareholders at such time. This anti-dilution provision will not be calculated to take into account the extent to which public shareholders elect to require their shares to be redeemed in connection with our initial business combination. For more information also see below under “
Offering—Payments to insiders” and “Offering—Additional financing
.”

The $10.00 per private placement unit conversion price for such working capital loans may potentially be significantly less than the market price of our shares at the time the lenders elect to convert their working capital loans into private placement units. Further, the $11.50 exercise price of the private placement warrants included in the private placement units issuable upon conversion of working capital loans may be significantly less than the market price of our shares at the time such private placement warrants are exercised. Similarly, depending on the market price of our shares at the time our private placement warrants are exercised, the cashless exercise feature of our private placement warrants may also result in material dilution to our public shareholders given that the cashless exercise of the warrants will not result in any cash proceeds to us and holders of our private placement warrants would pay the private placement warrant exercise price by surrendering their warrants for a number of Class A ordinary shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “Sponsor fair market value” (as defined below) over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the Sponsor fair market value. The “Sponsor fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the Class A ordinary shares for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of warrant exercise is sent to the warrant agent. Therefore, such private placement unit issuances may result in significant dilution to holders of our shares. For more information also see “Risk Factor—Risks Relating to our Search for, Consummation of, or Inability to Consummate, a Business Combination—We may issue shares to investors in connection with our initial business combination at a price which is less than $10.00 or the prevailing market price of our shares at that time, which could dilute the interests of our existing shareholders and add costs” and

 A ordinary shares and make it more difficult to effectuate our initial business combination

As of the date hereof, other than our controlling members, no person or entity has a direct or indirect material interest in our sponsor. As of the date hereof, our controlling members initially own equal percentages of an indirect interest in 100% of the membership interests in our sponsor (which represent the economic rights attributable to the private placement units and founder shares), but it is expected that such indirect interest will be allocated to other senior members of Bain from time to time following closing of this offering. For more information about Bain and its affiliates, see “Summary—Our Management and Board of Directors.”
