Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that we will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. We must complete an initial Business Combination with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income

earned on the Trust Account). However, we will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.
If we are unable to complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the

In addition, in order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance
transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, our Sponsor or an
affiliate of our Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors intend, but

Loans"). If we complete a Business Combination, we may repay the Working Capital
Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. Otherwise, the
Working Capital Loans could be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust
Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a
portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital
Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the
Working Capital Loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon

These holders will be entitled to certain demand and "piggyback" registration rights. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following as our critical accounting policies:
Investments Held in the Trust Account
Our portfolio of investments held in the Trust Account is comprised of
Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance
with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity."
Common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as a
liability instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common
stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either
within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of
uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary
equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders' equity.
Our outstanding common stock features certain redemption rights that are
considered to be outside of our control and subject to the occurrence of
uncertain future events. Accordingly, at
Under ASC 480-10-S99, the Company has elected to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying value of the security to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. This method would view the end of the reporting period as if it were also the redemption date for the security. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value, which approximates fair value. The change in the carrying value of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit and Class A common stock.
Derivative Warrant liabilities
We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or
foreign currency risks. We evaluate all of our financial instruments, including
issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives
or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to
All of our outstanding warrants are recognized as derivative liabilities in
accordance with ASC 815-40, Contracts in Entity's Own Equity ("ASC 815-40").
Accordingly, we recognize the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value
and adjust the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The
liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until
exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statement of
operations. The fair value of the Public Warrants issued in connection with the
Public Offering and Private Placement Warrants were initially measured at fair
value using a likely modified Black-Scholes model. The fair value of Public
Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering has been measured
based on the listed market price of such warrants, a Level 1 measurement, on
Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock
We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, "Earnings Per Share." We have two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) adjusted for the effects of a deemed dividend to Class A stockholders by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the respective period.
46
Table of Contents
The calculation of weighted average shares of Class B common stock outstanding was reduced for an aggregate of 1,803,922 shares of Class B common stock (the "Contingent Founder Shares") held by the Sponsor that are subject to forfeiture and transfer restrictions unless and until the trading price of Class A common stock exceeds certain price thresholds during specified periods of time following the closing of the Initial Business Combination.
We have not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of 14,213,333 shares of common stock in the calculation of diluted loss per common share, because their exercise is contingent upon future events. As a result, diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common stock for the periods presented.

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an "emerging growth company," we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an independent registered public accounting firm's attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the report of independent registered public accounting firm providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis), and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the principal executive officer's compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of the Initial Public Offering or until we are no longer an "emerging growth company," whichever is earlier.
