Following the Initial Public Offering, the exercise of the over-allotment option and the sale of the Private
Placement Warrants, a total of $690,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $38,924,273 in transaction costs, including $13,800,000 of underwriting fees, $24,150,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $974,273 of other offering costs in
connection with the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants.
For the period from July 3, 2020 (inception) through
December 31, 2020, net cash used in operating activities was $11,800. The net loss of $185,775,870 was impacted by the payment of formation costs through the issuance of Class B ordinary shares to the sponsor in the amount of $5,000,
operating expenses in the amount of $32,075 paid through advances from an affiliate of our sponsor, and non-cash charges for the change in fair value of the warrant liability, loss on FPA liability, compensation expense on Private Placement Warrants
and offering costs allocated to warrant liabilities in the amounts of $106,714,978, $69,874,782, $6,992,602, and $1,150,871 respectively. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $993,762 of cash from operating activities.
At December 31, 2020, we had cash held in the Trust Account of $690,000,000. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account,
including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less taxes payable (if applicable) and deferred underwriting commissions) and the proceeds from the sale of the forward purchase units to complete our Business Combination. To
the extent that our shares 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 post-Business
Combination entity, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
At December 31, 2020, we had cash of $605,009 held outside of the
Trust Account. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, properties or similar
locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.
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 would repay such loaned amounts. 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 $2,000,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants identical
to the Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender.
On January 19, 2021, we entered into a Convertible
Promissory Note with the Sponsor pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan us up to an aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000.
We do not believe we
will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due
diligence and negotiating and consummating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain
additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or
incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our
Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to
obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.
Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of
December 31, 2020. 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.
