Overview
We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on
July 9, 2020, for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange,
asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business
combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate our Business
Combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the
sale of the Private Placement Warrants, our capital stock, debt or a combination
of cash, stock and debt.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our
acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to
complete our initial Business Combination will be successful.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenues
to date. Our only activities from inception through September 30, 2022 were
organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public
Offering, described below, and, subsequent to the Initial Public Offering,
identifying a target company for a Business Combination and activities in
connection with the proposed acquisition of Paylink Holdings Inc., a Delaware
corporation and OP Group Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
which subsequently expired on March 31, 2022. We do not expect to generate any
operating revenues until after the completion of our initial Business
Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on
marketable securities held in the Trust Account and non-operating income or
expenses from the changes in fair value of warrant liabilities. We incur
expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting,
accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in
connection with searching for, and completing, a Business Combination.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we had a net income of
$2,037,741, which consisted of a change in fair value of warrant liabilities of
$1,033,425 and income earned on our investments held in the Trust Account of
$1,295,884, partially offset by operational costs of $291,568. The decrease in
operational costs compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021, is due
to the decrease in business combination related expenses incurred in current
year as a result of the terminated business combination agreement on March 31,
2022.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had a net income of $9,237,291,
which consisted of a change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $8,615,775
and income earned on our investments held in the Trust Account of $1,555,438,
partially offset by operational costs of $933,922.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net income of
$4,630,619, which consisted of a change in fair value of warrant liabilities of
$6,362,300 and income earned on our investments held in the Trust Account of
$3,552, partially offset by operational costs of $1,735,233.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net income of $3,942,023,
which consisted of a change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $7,660,500
and income earned on our investments held in the Trust Account of $23,886,
partially offset by transaction costs allocable to warrant liabilities of
$727,230 and operational costs of $3,015,133.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On February 4, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 27,600,000
Units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit, which included the full exercise by the
underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 3,600,000 Units,
generating gross proceeds of $276,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of
the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 6,550,000 Private
Placement Warrants to the Sponsor at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement
Warrant generating gross proceeds of $6,550,000.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, cash used in operating activities
was $661,374. Net income of $9,237,291 was affected by interest earned on
investments held in the Trust Account of $1,555,438 and the change in fair value
of warrant liabilities of $8,615,775. Changes in operating assets and
liabilities provided $272,548 of cash for operating activities, due primarily to
an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities
was $564,949. Net income of $3,942,023 was affected by interest earned on
investments held in the Trust Account of $23,886, the change in fair value of
warrant liabilities of $7,660,500 and transaction costs incurred in connection
with warrant liabilities of $727,230. Changes in operating assets and
liabilities provided $2,450,184 of cash for operating activities, due primarily
to increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Following the Initial Public Offering, the full exercise of the over-allotment
option, and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $276,000,000
was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $15,612,362 in transaction costs,
including $5,520,000 of underwriting fees, $9,660,000 of deferred underwriting
fees and $432,362 of other offering costs.
As of September 30, 2022, we had $277,585,155 of marketable securities held in
the Trust Account. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the
Trust Account after any redemptions, including any amounts representing interest
earned on the Trust Account (less deferred underwriting commissions and
franchise and income taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. To
the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as
consideration to complete our Business Combination, the 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.
As of September 30, 2022, we had $36,121 of cash held outside of the Trust
Account.

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 may, but are not obligated to,
loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we may
repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to
us. In the event that a 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 a mutually agreed amount of such loans may be convertible into
warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant, at the option of the lender. The
warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of September
30, 2022, the Sponsor advances amounted to $982,045 which are currently due on
demand.
Going Concern
We will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments
from our Sponsor, stockholders, officers, directors, or third parties. Our
officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds,
from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in
their sole discretion, to meet our working capital needs. Accordingly, we may
not be able to obtain additional financing. As of the date of this filing, the
Sponsor advanced an aggregate of $982,045 which is currently due on demand.
Accordingly, we may not be able to obtain additional financing. If we are unable
to raise additional capital, we may be required to take additional measures to
conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to,
curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and
reducing overhead expenses. We cannot provide any assurance that new financing
will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. The Company
has until February 4, 2023 to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain
that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time.
If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a
mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. These
conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern for at least one year from the date that the financial statements
are issued. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or
liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after February 4, 2023.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered
off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2022. 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 purchased any non-financial assets.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease
obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay an
affiliate of the Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, utilities,
secretarial and administrative support services. We began incurring these fees
on January 28, 2021 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the
earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and our liquidation.
The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $9,660,000
in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from
the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company
completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting
agreement.
Critical Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and
estimates from those disclosed in our financial statements and the related notes
and other financial information included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2021.
