Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), and one-third of one warrant of the Company, with each whole warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $310,500,000.

On January 28, 2021, simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of 5,473,333 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, to the Company’s sponsor, SSAC Alpha Sponsor, LLC, generating gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $8,210,000.

A total of $310,500,000, comprised of $304,290,000 of the proceeds from the IPO, including approximately $10,867,500 of the underwriter’s deferred discount, and $6,210,000 of the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, were placed in a trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee.
