Note 4 - Initial Public Offering

On March 16, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 34,500,000 Units, including the issuance of 4,500,000 Over-Allotment Units, as a result of the underwriter’s partial exercise of its over-allotment option, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $345.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $19.9 million, of which approximately $12.1 million was for deferred underwriting commissions.

Each Unit consists of one share of Class A ordinary share, and one-third of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”). Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 6).

On March 13, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Extension Meeting”) to approve (i) a proposal to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “First Extension Amendment Proposal”) to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate an Initial Business Combination from March 16, 2023 to September 16, 2023 and (ii) a proposal to allow the adjournment of the Extension Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the First Extension Amendment Proposal (the “First Adjournment Proposal”). The First Extension Amendment Proposal was approved. In connection with the vote to approve the First Extension Amendment Proposal, the holders of 28,119,098 Class A ordinary shares of the Company properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.23 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $287.7 million.
