COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
NOTE 5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Registration and Shareholder Rights
The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and Private Placement Shares that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, were entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement signed upon consummation of the Initial Public Offering. The holders of these securities were entitled to make up to
three
demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company registered such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggyback” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Company’s completion of its Business Combination. However, the registration and shareholder rights agreement provide
s
that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable
lock-up
period, which occurs (i) in the case of the Founder Shares, in accordance with the letter agreement the Company’s initial shareholders entered into and (ii) in the case of the Private Placement Shares,
30
days after the completion of the Company’s Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were
no
amounts incurred or accrued for such expenses.
Underwriting Agreement
The Company granted the underwriters a
45-day
option from the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to
3,750,000
additional Public Shares to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On May 27, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option to purchase an additional
2,500,000
Class A ordinary shares. On July 8, 2021, the over-allotment option expired.
The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $
0.20
per Public Share, or $
5.5
 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, $
0.35
per Public Share, or approximately $
9.6
 million in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. In 2022,
Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and BofA Securities, Inc., two of the representatives of the underwriters of the Company’s IPO, waived their deferred underwriting fee that accrued from their participation in the IPO, resulting in a gain from settlement of deferred underwriting commissions of approximately $
6.0
 million.

On February 24, 2023, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., an underwriter to the Company’s IPO, waived its entitlement to its portion of its deferred underwriting fee payable upon consummation of an initial business combination pursuant to the underwriting agreement
.
As a result, there
 
were
no
outstanding payable to underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions as of March 31, 2023.

Risks and Uncertainties
Various social and political circumstances in the United States and around the world (including wars and other forms of conflict, including rising trade tensions between the United States and China, and other uncertainties regarding actual and potential shifts in the United States and foreign, trade, economic and other policies with other countries, terrorist acts, security operations and catastrophic events such as fires, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and global health epidemics), may contribute to increased market volatility and economic uncertainties or deterioration in the United States and worldwide. Specifically, the rising conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and resulting market volatility could adversely affect the Company’s ability to complete a business co
mbination. In r
esponse to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the United States and other countries have imposed sanctions or other restrictive actions against Russia. Any of the above factors, including sanctions, export controls, tariffs, trade wars and other governmental actions, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to complete a business combination and the value of the Company’s securities.

Risks and Uncertainties
Management continues to evaluate the impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations, and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Various social and political circumstances in the United States and around the world (including wars and other forms of conflict, including rising trade tensions between the United States and China, and other uncertainties regarding actual and potential shifts in the United States and foreign, trade, economic and other policies with other countries, terrorist acts, security operations and catastrophic events such as fires, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and global health epidemics), may also contribute to increased market volatility and economic uncertainties or deterioration in the United States and worldwide. Specifically, the rising conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and resulting market volatility could adversely affect the Company’s ability to complete a business combination. In response to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the United States and other countries have imposed sanctions or other restrictive actions against Russia. Any of the above factors, including sanctions, export controls, tariffs, trade wars and other governmental actions, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability
to
complete a business combination and the value of the Company’s securities.
