Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2, and 3 are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period. There were no transfers between levels for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

The fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering was initially measured using a Monte-Carlo simulation model and subsequently been measured based on the listed market price of such warrants at each measurement date when separately listed and traded in November 2020. The fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the Private Placement have been estimated using a Black-Scholes Option Pricing model at each measurement date.

The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants has been determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Black-Scholes Option Pricing model 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 based on historical volatility of select peer company 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:


	June 30, 2021			December 31, 2020
Exercise price	$	11.50		$	11.50
Stock Price	$	9.74		$	10.01
Term (in years)		5.00			5.00
Volatility		17.00	%		17.00	%
Risk-free interest rate		1.00	%		0.56	%
Dividend yield		0.00	%		0.00	%

The change in the fair value of the derivative warrant liabilities measured with Level 3 inputs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 is summarized as follows:
