(the “Company”) consummated the IPO of 16,377,622 units (the “Units”), including the issuance of 1,377,622 Units as a result of the underwriter’s partial exercise of its over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, $0.0001 par value (“Ordinary Share”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant (“Warrant”). Each whole Warrant entitles its holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $163,776,220.

As of November 27, 2020, a total of $166,232,863.30 of the net proceeds from the IPO and the private placement consummated simultaneously with the closing of the IPO were deposited in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders.
