Note 6 — Fair Value Measurements

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2021, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. The Company uses inputs such as actual trade data, benchmark yields, quoted market prices from dealers or brokers, and other similar sources to determine the fair value of its investments in the Mutual Fund.


	June 30, 2021		Quoted Prices In Active Markets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Other Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Assets:
Mutual Fund held in Trust Account	$	402,515,362	$	402,515,362	$	—	$	—

Liabilities:
Warrant liability – Public Warrants	$	10,338,960	$	10,338,960		—		—
Warrant liability – Private Warrants		9,974,649				—		9,974,649
Warrant Liability	$	20,313,609	$	10,338,960	$	—	$	9,974,649

The estimated fair value of the warrant liability for the private warrants at June 30, 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 beginning 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 as of June 30, 2021:


	June 30, 2021
Strike price	$	11.50
Share price	$	9.31
Volatility		40.0	%
Risk-free rate		1.07	%
Expected term (years)		5.0
