        <footnote id="F1">These shares represent Class B ordinary shares held by the reporting person, acquired pursuant to a securities purchase agreement by and between the reporting person and the issuer. The Class B ordinary shares owned by the reporting person includes up to 1,125,000 Class B ordinary shares that are subject to forfeiture in the event the underwriters of the initial public offering of the issuer's securities do not exercise in full their over-allotment option as described in the issuer's registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-252940) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 10, 2021, as amended (the &quot;Registration Statement&quot;).</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The Class B Shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of the issuer's initial business combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, as described in the section entitled &quot;Description of Securities&quot; in the issuer's Registration Statement. The Class B ordinary shares have no expiration date.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">These shares are held of record by Freedom Acquisition I LLC. Freedom Acquisition I LLC's three managers are Tidjane Thiam, Adam Gishen and Abhishek Bhatia. The approval of two of the three members of the board of managers is required to approve an action of Freedom Acquisition I LLC. Accordingly, none of these three managers will be deemed to have or share beneficial ownership of these shares and, for the avoidance of doubt, each expressly disclaims any such beneficial ownership.</footnote>
