Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

4.	Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company determines fair value based upon the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, as determined by either the principal market or the most advantageous market. Inputs used in the valuation techniques to derive fair values are classified based on a three-level hierarchy. These levels are:

Level 1

– Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date;

Level 2

– Inputs are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities; and

Level 3

– Unobservable inputs that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities that are supported by little or no market data.

Financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, debt and convertible preferred stock warrant liability, Additional Shares,

Earn-Out

Shares and Public and Private Placement Warrants. Cash equivalents, convertible preferred stock warrant liability, Additional Shares,

Earn-Out

Shares and Public and Private Placement Warrant are stated at fair value on a recurring basis. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are stated at their carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short period time to the expected receipt or payment. The carrying amount of the Company’s outstanding debt approximates the fair value as the debt bears interest at a rate that approximates prevailing market rate.

The Public Warrants are classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market. Private Placement Warrants are classified as Level 2 as the fair value approximates the fair value of the Public Warrants. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, with certain exception discussed in Note 9, Common Stock and Warrants. The Additional Shares and

Earn-Out

Shares are classified as Level 3 and their fair values were estimated using a Monte Carlo options pricing model utilizing assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimated the expected volatility assumption based on the implied common stock volatilities of a set of publicly traded peer companies. Changes in this assumption, including the selection of or quantities of companies with the peer company set, could materially affect the estimate of the fair value of these instruments and the related change in fair value of these instruments.

Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant Liability

The fair value of the preferred stock warrant liability is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. The following table provides a summary of changes in the estimated fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities (in thousands):


Balance at December 31, 2020	$	3,553
Change in fair value		1,234

The change in fair value of the derivative warrant liabilities is summarized as follows:

Derivative warrant liabilities at March 31, 2022	$	2,636,811		$	—	$	2,636,811

The estimated fair value of the warrant liability for the private warrants at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Monte Carlo options 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 ordinary shares based on projected volatility of comparable public companies 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 based on management assumptions regarding the timing and likelihood of completing a business combination. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates to remain at zero.

Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2 and 3 are recognized at the end of the reporting period. The estimated fair value of the Public Warrants transferred from a Level 3 measurement to a Level 1 fair value measurement in May 2021 when the Public Warrants were listed separately.

The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 3 fair value measurements of derivative warrant liabilities as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:


	March 31, 2022			December 31, 2021
Strike price	$	11.50		$	11.50
Share price	$	5.95		$	9.59
Volatility		25	%		40	%
Risk-free rate		2.40	%		1.28	%
Expected term (years)		5			5

The Company accounts for the Backstop Subscription Agreement in accordance with the guidance in ASC 815-40 and accounts for the Tranche 2 Shares as a derivative asset and Penny Warrants and Additional Shares as derivative liabilities at its fair value determined by a Monte Carlo simulation of redemptions and share price using the same calibrated price from the warrant valuation analysis. These assets and liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each such re-measurement, the derivate asset or liability will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Company’s statements of operations. On March 31, 2022, the Company recorded net backstop derivative liability in the unaudited condensed balance sheets amounting to $30,234,314.

The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 3 fair value measurement of backstop derivative liability as of March 31, 2022:
