Item3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The aggregate purchase price for the ordinary shares currently beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons was $32,700,000. The source of these funds was the working capital of the Sponsor.

 

Item4.

Purpose of the Transaction

In March, 2021, the Sponsor acquired an aggregate of 7,475,000 Class B ordinary shares, and in November, 2021, the Sponsor acquired an additional 2,382,142 Class B ordinary shares, for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000.

On March 4, 2022, in the Issuers Initial Public Offering (the IPO), the Sponsor acquired 3,267,500 units (Public Units) of the Issuer at $10.00 per Public Unit. Each Public Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, one Class 1 redeemable warrant and one Class 2 redeemable warrant, each whole warrant exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share, at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (as described more fully in the Issuers Final Prospectus dated March 1, 2022 (the Prospectus)).

The ordinary shares owned by the Reporting Persons have been acquired for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons may make further acquisitions of the ordinary shares from time to time and, subject to certain restrictions, may dispose of any or all of the ordinary shares held by the Reporting Persons at any time depending on an ongoing evaluation of the investment in such securities, prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities and other factors. However, certain of such shares are subject to lock-up restrictions as further described in Item 6 below.

The Sponsor loaned the Issuer an aggregate of $200,000 to cover expenses related to the IPO pursuant to a promissory note, dated on March 24, 2021 that was later amended on November 16, 2021 (the Note). Such loan is non-interest bearing and was converted into a Working Capital Loan (as defined below) in connection with the IPO.

Except for the foregoing, the Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) and (c) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

With respect to paragraph (b) of Item 4, the Issuer is a blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Under various agreements between the Issuer and the Reporting Persons as further described in Item 6 below, the Sponsor and Mr. Mirro have agreed (A) to vote their shares in favor of any proposed business combination and (B) not to redeem any shares in connection with any shareholder approval in connection therewith. The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position, change their purpose or formulate plans or proposals with respect to the Issuer.

 

Item5.

(a)-(b) As of March 4, 2022, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own 9,857,142 of the Issuers Class B ordinary shares, representing 30% of the Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding and assuming the conversion of all Class B ordinary shares of the Reporting Persons. The Class B ordinary shares are automatically convertible into the Issuers Class A ordinary shares at the time of the Issuers initial business combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment, as more fully described under the heading Description of Securities in the Issuers registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-262266).

The percentage of the Class B ordinary shares held by the Reporting Persons is based on 23,000,000 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding as of March 4, 2022 as reported by the Issuer in Exhibit 99.1 to its Current Report on Form 8-K, filed by the Issuer with the SEC on March 10, 2022.

The Sponsor is controlled by its managing member, Kensington, which is controlled by its managing member, Mirro.

Consequently, Kensington and Mirro may be deemed the beneficial owners of the shares held by the Sponsor and have shared voting and dispositive control over such securities. Kensington and Mirro disclaim any ownership of securities reported herein other than to the extent of any pecuniary interest they may have therein, directly or indirectly.

Contracts, Arrangements,Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Letter Agreement

On March 1, 2022, in connection with the IPO, the Issuer, the Sponsor and the directors and officers of the Issuer entered into the letter agreement (the Letter Agreement), pursuant to which they agreed to waive (i) their redemption rights with respect to any ordinary shares held by them in connection with the completion of the Issuers initial business combination, (ii) their redemption rights with respect to any ordinary shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Issuers amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Issuers obligation to allow redemption in connection with its initial business combination or to redeem 100% of the Issuers Class A ordinary shares if the Issuer has not completed its initial business combination within 24 months from March 4, 2022 or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders rights or pre-initial business combination activity and (iii) their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any Class B ordinary shares held by them if the Issuer fails to complete its initial business combination within 24 months from March 4, 2022 or during any extension period, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any Class A ordinary shares they hold if the Issuer fails to complete its initial business combination within the prescribed time frame.

 

7

The Sponsor has also agreed that it will be liable to the Issuer if and to the extent any claims by a third party (except for the Issuers independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Issuer, or by a prospective target business with which the Issuer has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to below (i) $10.00 per Class A ordinary share or (ii) such lesser amount per Class A ordinary share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the trust account and except as to any claims under the Issuers indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, then the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims.

The description of the Letter Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which was filed by the Issuer as Exhibit 10.4 to the Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the SEC on March 4, 2022 (and is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 10.1).

Registration Rights Agreement

On March 1, 2022, in connection with the IPO, the Sponsor and the other initial stockholders of the Issuer on or prior to the closing of the IPO entered into a registration rights agreement with the Issuer, pursuant to which the Sponsor was granted certain demand and piggyback registration rights, which will be subject to customary conditions and limitations, including the right of the underwriters of an offering to limit the number of shares offered. The summary of such registration rights agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which was filed by the Issuer as Exhibit 10.3 to the Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the SEC on March 4, 2022 (and is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 10.2).

Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreement

On March 1, 2022, in connection with the IPO, the Sponsor and the Issuer entered into a private placement warrants purchase agreement (the Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreement), pursuant to which the Sponsor acquired an aggregate of 16,000,000 private placement warrants (the Private Placement Warrants) for a purchase price of $0.50 per warrant in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the closing of the IPO. Each Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as provided in the Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreement. The Private Placement Warrants (including the warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (as defined below) and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holder. The Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless if the Issuer fails to complete its initial business combination within 24 months from March 4, 2022 or during any extension period.

The description of the Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which was filed by the Issuer as Exhibit 10.1 to the Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the SEC on March 4, 2022 (and is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 10.3).

Promissory Note and Working Capital Loans

The Sponsor loaned the Issuer an aggregate of $200,000 to cover expenses related to the IPO pursuant to the Note. Such loan is non-interest bearing and was converted into a Working Capital Loan (as defined below) in connection with the IPO.

In addition, in order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with the Issuers initial business combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Issuers officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Issuer funds as may be required (Working Capital Loans). The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of the Issuers initial business combination or, at the lenders discretion, up to $2.0 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post business combination entity at a price of $0.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of March 4, 2022, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans other than under the Note.
