Note 4— Initial Public Offering

On July 1, 2021, the Company consummated its IPO of 25,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, at a price of $10.00 per share, generating gross proceeds of $250,000,000. PAG Investment LP (the “Fund”), an affiliate of PAG and the sole member of the Sponsor, purchased 20,000,000 Public Shares in the IPO at the public offering price. Shares purchased by the Fund, if any, will not be subject to underwriting discounts and commissions.

The Company paid an underwriting fee at the closing of the IPO of $1,000,000. As of July 1, 2021, an additional fee of $1,750,000 was deferred and will become payable upon the Company’s completion of an initial Business Combination. The deferred portion of the fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event the Company completes its initial Business Combination.

On July 14, 2021, the Company consummated the Over-Allotment Closing of its sale of an additional 542,537 Shares pursuant to the partial exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option (the “Over-Allotment Option”). The Shares were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Share, generating gross proceeds of $5,425,370.

All of the 25,542,537 Class A ordinary share sold in the IPO and over-allotment contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s certificate of incorporation. In accordance with SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require ordinary share subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity.

The Class A ordinary share is subject to SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99. If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur. Immediately upon the closing of the IPO, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable ordinary share resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.

As of September 30, 2021, the ordinary share reflected on the balance sheet are reconciled in the following table:
