Results of Operations
Our entire activity from inception up to September 30, 2022 was in preparation for our formation, our Initial Public Offering and our search for a Business Combination. We will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Business Combination at the earliest.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net income of approximately $2,490,000, which consisted of approximately $4,000 of income from investments held in the Trust Account, and approximately $2,862,000 in non-operating gain resulting from the change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities, offset by approximately $376,000 in general and administrative expenses.

Contractual Obligations
Registration Rights
The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or warrants issued upon conversion of any outstanding Working Capital Loans) were entitled to registration rights pursuant to that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated March 9, 2021, by and between us, the Sponsor and certain of our directors. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the initial Business Combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
We granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 3,750,000 additional Units at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On April 16, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option to purchase the Over-Allotment Units (see Note 1).
The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or approximately $5.0 million and $0.7 million ($5.7 million in the aggregate), paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Over-Allotment Units, respectively. In addition, $0.35 per unit, or approximately $9.9 million in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
