Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2, and 3 are recognized at the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers between levels for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

The fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the Public Offering and Private Placement Warrants were initially measured at fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model and subsequently, the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants have been estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model each measurement date. The fair value of Public Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering have been measured based on the listed market price of such warrants, a Level 1 measurement, beginning in November 2020.

The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants has been determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Monte Carlo simulation are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its Class A common stock warrants based on implied volatility from the Company’s traded warrants and from historical volatility of select peer company’s Class A common stock that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury

zero-coupon

yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates remaining at zero.

The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 3 fair value measurements inputs at their measurement:


	March 31, 2021
Exercise price	$	11.50
Stock p rice	$	9.72
Term (in years)		5.00
Volatility		15.00	%
Risk-free interest rate		1.20	%
Dividend yield		—

The change in the fair value of the derivative warrant liabilities measured with Level 3 inputs for the three months ended March 31, 2021 is summarized as follows:


Level 3 warrant liabilities at December 31, 2020	$	165,780
Change in fair value of warrant liabilities		(30,700	)

Level 3 warrant liabilities at March 31, 2021	$	135,080
