Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant.

Each warrant will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of an initial business combination (“Initial Business Combination”), as described in more detail in the Issuer’s prospectus dated January 5, 2021 and filed with the SEC on January 7, 2021 (the “Prospectus”), or 12 months from the closing of the proposed offering described in the Prospectus, and will expire five years after the completion of the Initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The warrants are not presently exercisable and contain provisions that would prevent the holder from exercising in the event that it would cause the holder to beneficially own in excess of 9.8% (or such other amount as specified by the holder) of the Issuer’s outstanding Class A ordinary shares.

 

The Units are held by RP Select Opportunities Master Fund Ltd., RP Debt Opportunities Fund Ltd., RP Alternative Global Bond Fund and RP SPAC Fund (the “Funds”), which are managed by RP Investment Advisors LP, an Ontario limited partnership (the “Advisor”). The Advisor, in its capacity as the investment manager of the Funds, has the power to vote and the power to direct the disposition of all Units held by the Funds. Accordingly, for the purposes of Reg.

This report shall not be deemed an admission that the Advisor, the Funds or any other person is the beneficial owner of the securities reported herein for purposes of Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose.
