On February 9, 2021, simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of 6,853,333 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to JOFF Fintech Holdings LP at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $10,280,000.

A total of $414,000,000, comprised of $405,720,000 of the proceeds from the IPO (which amount includes $14,490,000 of the underwriters’ deferred discount) and $8,280,000 of the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, was placed in a U.S.-based trust account, maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee.
