The offering priced on November 3, 2021. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), and one-half of one warrant of the Company (the “Warrants”), each whole warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one whole Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as provided in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1, initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on October 18, 2021 (File No. 333-260305) (the “Registration Statement”).

In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into the following agreements, the material terms of which are disclosed in the Registration Statement:

On November 8, 2021, in connection with the IPO, the Company adopted and filed with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands the Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association”), which both restates and amends the provisions of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Company.
