Liquidity and Capital Resources
On February 26, 2021 the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 60,000,000 Units, which includes the partial exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option in the amount of 7,500,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $600,000,000 which is described in Note 4. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 9,333,334 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $14,000,001, which is described in Note 5.
Following the Initial Public Offering, the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $600,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $33,493,009 in Initial Public Offering related costs, including $12,000,000 in cash underwriting fees, $21,000,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $493,009 of other offering costs.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $727,608. Net income of $2,390,242 was affected by noncash charges (income) related to the change in fair value of the warrant liability of $3,906,413, interest earned in marketable securities held in trust account of $60,416 and transaction costs associated with the warrants of $878,490. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $29,511 of cash for operating activities.
As of June 30, 2021, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $600,060,416 (including approximately $60,416 of interest income) consisting of U.S. Treasury Bills with a maturity of 185 days or less. Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account may be used by us to pay taxes. Through June 30, 2021, we have not withdrawn any interest earned from the Trust Account.
We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less income taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
As of June 30, 2021, we had cash of $829,369. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant, at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.
We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking

due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.
