Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations

Organization and General

Bluescape Opportunities Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on July 9, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company is an early stage and “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”).

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from July 9, 2020 (inception) through March 31, 2023 was related to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) further described below. Since such offering, our activity has been limited to the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest.

On September 22, 2022, the Company's shareholders held a meeting and approved and adopted an amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to extend the period of time for which the Company is required to consummate a Business Combination from October 30, 2022 to October 30, 2023 (the "Extension"). In connection with the Extension, shareholders holding 53,350,554 shares of the Company's Class A ordinary shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company's Trust Account (as defined below) at a redemption price of approximately $10.06 per share. As a result, on September 22, 2022 $536,494,151 in cash was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders.

On July 13, 2020, Bluescape Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”) purchased 20,125,000 shares of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate price of $25,000. On October 23, 2020, the Sponsor surrendered 3,593,750 Founder Shares, resulting in an aggregate of 16,531,250 Founder Shares. As a result of the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option, 1,343,750 additional Founder Shares were forfeited, resulting in 15,187,500 Founder Shares outstanding as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The 15,187,500 Founder Shares outstanding will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares upon consummation of a Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments, as described in Note 7.

The registration statement for the Company’s Public Offering became effective on October 27, 2020. On October 30, 2020, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 57,500,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $575,000,000. Subsequently, on November 12, 2020, the Company consummated the closing of the sale of 3,250,000 additional units at a price of $10.00 per unit upon receiving notice of the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option, generating additional gross proceeds of $32,500,000 to the Company and resulting in an aggregate of 60,750,000 outstanding Units as of November 12, 2020 (Note 3). Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant. Each whole public warrant entitles the holder to purchase one ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 13,500,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor and an investment fund managed by Zimmer Partners, LP (“Zimmer Entity”), generating gross proceeds of $13,500,000. In connection with the November 12, 2020 exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, the Company consummated the private placement of an additional 650,000 warrants, at a purchase price of $1.00 per private placement warrant, to Bluescape Sponsor LLC and an investment fund managed by Zimmer Partners, LP, generating gross proceeds of $650,000 and resulting in an aggregate of 14,150,000 Private Placement Warrants (Note 4).

Trust Account and Initial Business Combination

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on October 30, 2020 and the subsequent partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment exercise, an amount of $607,500,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, was placed in a segregated trust account (the “Trust Account”) and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting certain conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s shareholders, as described below. On September 22, 2022, the Company liquidated its remaining portfolio of investments held in the Trust Account and converted it into cash held in the Trust Account.

Substantially all of the net proceeds of the Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating an initial Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully and the Company must complete an initial Business Combination with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value of at least 80% of the cash held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting discounts and commissions) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

Other than the withdrawal of interest to pay franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 to pay dissolution expenses), none of the cash held in the Trust Account will be released until the earliest of: (i) the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption (liquidation) of public shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination by October 30, 2023, subject to applicable law, or (iii) the redemption of public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide holders of Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of public shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination by October 30, 2023 or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of Class A ordinary shares. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company.

The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for an initial Business Combination, will either (i) seek shareholder approval of the initial Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which shareholders may seek to redeem their Public Shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the initial Business Combination, for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest not previously released to the Company to pay its franchise and income taxes, or (ii) provide shareholders with the opportunity to sell their Public Shares to the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a shareholder vote) for an amount in cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest not previously released to the Company to pay income taxes. The per-share amount to be distributed to public shareholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (Note 6).

MARCH 31, 2023

The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of the initial Business Combination or will allow shareholders to sell their Public Shares in a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require the Company to seek shareholder approval, unless a vote is required by law or under NYSE rules. If the Company seeks shareholder approval, it will complete its initial Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of ordinary shares voted are voted in favor of the initial Business Combination. However, in no event will the Company redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its Public Shares and the related initial Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate initial Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required by law or stock exchange requirements and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, shareholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor and its permitted transferees will agree to vote their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each public shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction.

If the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Company will have until October 30, 2023 (the “Combination Window”) to complete a Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Window, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay the Company’s franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Sponsor and the Company’s independent directors that hold Founder Shares have agreed (a) to waive their redemption rights with respect to Founder Shares and Public Shares held in connection with the completion of a Business Combination, (b) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to Founder Shares if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within the Combination Window (as defined below) and (c) not to propose an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination, unless the Company provides the public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares in conjunction with any such amendment. However, if the Sponsor or any of the Company’s directors, officers or affiliates acquires shares of Class A ordinary shares in or after the Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the prescribed time period. None of the Company’s independent directors hold any Public Shares.

MARCH 31, 2023

The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Window and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Public Offering price of $10.00 per Unit.

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.00 per Public Share or (ii) the amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per Public Shares due to reductions in the value of the trust will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Going Concern

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $427,867 in its operating bank account for working capital. The Company will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the initial Business Combination.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, management has determined that the mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If the Company is unable to complete a business combination by October 30, 2023, then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. There is no assurance that a business combination target will be identified prior to October 30, 2023. The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, and the financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after October 30, 2023.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management is currently evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through October 30, 2023.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as modified by the JOBS Act, and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

Table of Contents

BLUESCAPE OPPORTUNITIES ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2023

Net Income Per Ordinary Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260, Earnings Per Share. Net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. The Company applies the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Remeasurement adjustments associated with the redeemable shares of Class ordinary shares are excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the initial Public Offering and Private Placement in the calculation of diluted income or loss per share, since the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flow. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts, and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

Cash and Investments Held in Trust Account

Prior to September 22, 2022, the Company’s portfolio of investments held in the Trust Account were comprised solely of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 180 days or less, classified as trading securities. Trading securities were presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities are included in Gain, dividends and interest on investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying statements of operations. The fair value for trading securities was determined using quoted market prices in active markets. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s portfolio of investments held in the Trust Account was comprised solely of cash.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined under FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

●

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

●

Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

●

Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

MARCH 31, 2023

Warrant Liabilities

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

In accordance with FASB ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-40”), the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity classification and must be recorded as liabilities. The Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants are not indexed to the Company’s own stock and therefore are accounted for as liabilities and, as the warrants meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815-40, the Warrants are measured at fair value at inception and at each reporting date in accordance with FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), with changes in fair value recognized in the unaudited condensed statements of operations in the period of change.

The Company’s warrant agreements, dated as of October 27, 2020, between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agreement”), include settlement terms and provision related to certain tender offers following a business combination. In consideration of the guidance in ASC 815-40, the Company has concluded that such provisions in the Warrant Agreement that relate to certain tender or exchange offers precludes the Warrants from being accounted for as components of equity. As the Warrants meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815, the Warrants are recorded as derivative liabilities on the balance sheet and measured at fair value at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, with changes in fair value recognized in the unaudited condensed statements of operations in the period of change. The Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants are not indexed to the Company’s own stock and therefore are accounted for as liabilities and, as the warrants meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815, changes in fair value are recognized in the unaudited condensed statements of operations in the period of change.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Under this guidance, shares of Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Shares of conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events.

As discussed in Note 1, the remaining outstanding Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of Class A ordinary shares under the Company’s liquidation or tender offer/shareholder approval provisions. In accordance with ASC 480, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require the security to be classified outside of shareholders’ equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity’s equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of ASC 480. In the event of redemptions, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($10.00).

Components of Equity

Upon the Initial Public Offering (“IPO”), the Company issued Class A ordinary shares and Warrants. The Company allocated the proceeds received from the issuance using the with-and-without method. Under that method, the Company first allocated the proceeds to the Warrants based on their initial fair value measurement, and then allocated the remaining proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and offering costs, to the Class A ordinary shares.

BLUESCAPE OPPORTUNITIES ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2023

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 7,399,446 shares of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s unaudited condensed balance sheets.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense.

There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of March 31, 2023. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

The Company is considered an exempted Cayman Islands Company as it is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the period presented.

Share-based Compensation

On October 27, 2020, the Sponsor granted 15,000 Founder Shares (Class B ordinary shares) to each of the Company’s independent director nominees vesting 33.33% on grant date, 33.33% after one year from the date of the Initial Public Offering, and 33.34% after two years from the date of the Initial Public Offering. Share-based compensation expense was measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award.

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 57,500,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share (the “Ordinary Share”), $0.0001 par value, and one-half of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 8).

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 8,625,000 additional Units to cover any over-allotments at the initial public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On November 12, 2020, the Company consummated the closing of the sale of an additional, and final 3,250,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit upon receiving notice of the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option, generating additional gross proceeds of $32,500,000 to the Company and resulting in an aggregate of 60,750,000 Units. Each Unit consists of one Ordinary Share and one-half of one redeemable Public Warrant. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share.

The Company paid an underwriting discount to the underwriters at the closing of the Initial Public Offering and upon the over-allotment option exercise, a portion of which will be deferred and payable upon the Company’s completion of a Business Combination. The Deferred Discount will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event the Company completes its Business Combination.

Note 4 — Private Placement

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor and the Zimmer Entity purchased, severally and not jointly, 13,500,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $13,500,000.

On November 12, 2020, simultaneously with the exercise of the over-allotment option, the Sponsor and the Zimmer Entity purchased, severally and not jointly, 650,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $650,000 and resulting in an aggregate of 14,150,000 Private Placement Warrants.

Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Class A ordinary shares at a price of $11.50 per share. There are no redemption rights or liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Private Placement Warrants. The Private Placement Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis and are non-redeemable (except as described under Redemption of Warrants when the price per Class A Ordinary Share equals or exceeds $10.00) so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. The Sponsor, Zimmer Entity, and the Company’s officers and directors have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Warrants until 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination.

Note 5 — Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On July 13, 2020, the Sponsor purchased 20,125,000 shares of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares for an aggregate price of $25,000. On October 23, 2020, the Sponsor surrendered 3,593,750 Founder Shares, resulting in an aggregate of 16,531,250 Founder Shares. Subsequently, as a result of the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option, 1,343,750 additional Founder Shares were forfeited, resulting in 15,187,500 Founder Shares outstanding. The 15,187,500 Founder Shares outstanding will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares upon consummation of a Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments, as described in Note 7.

In connection with the issuance of the Founder Shares, the Sponsor has paid third parties directly for costs associated with formation of the Company and issuance of the Founder Shares. The Sponsor and the Company’s independent directors have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination or (B) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization or similar transaction after a Business Combination that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-division, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after a Business Combination, the Founder Shares will be released from the lockup.

Administrative Support Agreement

Commencing on the effective date of the Public Offering, the Company agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services. Upon completion of the Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying such administrative support fees. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company accrued $60,000 and $30,000 payable to Sponsor, respectively, which is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheets.

Related Party Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor, or the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.

Forward Purchase Agreements

The Company entered into a forward purchase agreement simultaneously with the closing of the Public Offering with the Sponsor providing for the purchase of up to 3,000,000 forward purchase units, and with the Zimmer Entity providing for the purchase of up to 27,000,000 forward purchase units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per unit, in private placements to occur concurrently with the closing of our initial business combination collectively, the (“Forward Purchase Agreements”). Participation by the Forward Purchase Agreement providers is discretionary. However, if requested by the Company, and approved by Zimmer Partners’ investment committee, the proceeds from the sale of forward purchase securities may be used as part of the consideration to the sellers in the initial business combination, expenses in connection with the initial business combination or for working capital in the post-transaction company.

Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and Warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, if any, (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and Warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement to signed concurrently with the Public Offering. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Pursuant to the forward purchase agreements, the Company has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts (i) to file within 30 days after the closing of a Business Combination a registration statement with the SEC for a secondary offering of the forward purchase shares and the forward purchase warrants (and underlying Class A ordinary shares), (ii) to cause such registration statement to be declared effective promptly thereafter but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the initial filing, (iii) to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement until the earliest of (A) the date on which the Sponsor, the Zimmer Entity or their respective assignees cease to hold the securities covered thereby and (B) the date all of the securities covered thereby can be sold publicly without restriction or limitation under Rule 144 under the Securities Act and (iv) after such registration statement is declared effective, cause us to conduct firm commitment underwritten offerings, subject to certain limitations. In addition, the forward purchase agreements provide that these holders will have certain “piggy-back” registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements filed by the Company.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit related to the Initial Public Offering, or $12,150,000 in the aggregate including the partially exercised underwriters’ over-allotment option. In addition, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $21,262,500 in the aggregate including the partially exercised underwriters’ over-allotment option.

Note 7 — Shareholders’ Deficit

Preferred Shares

The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no shares of preferred shares issued or outstanding.

Ordinary Shares

The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class A ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 7,399,446 shares of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, which are presented in temporary equity.

The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 Class B ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share (the “Founder Shares”). Holders of Founder Shares are entitled to one vote for each share. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 15,187,500 shares of Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding. The Company originally issued 20,125,000 Founder Shares. On October 23, 2020, the Sponsor surrendered 3,593,750 Founder Shares, resulting in an aggregate of 16,531,250 Founder Shares. As a result of the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option, 1,343,750 additional Founder Shares were forfeited, resulting 15,187,500 Founder Shares outstanding. The Founder Shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares upon consummation of a Business Combination on a one-for-one basis. Holders of Founder Shares will have the right to elect all of the Company’s directors prior to a Business Combination. Holders of Class A ordinary shares and Founder Shares will vote together as a single class on all other matters submitted to a vote of shareholders except as required by law.

The Founder Shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of a Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in the Public Offering and related to the closing of a Business Combination, the ratio at which Founder Shares shall convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding Founder Shares agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all ordinary shares outstanding upon the completion of the Public Offering plus all Class A ordinary shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination, (including the Forward Purchase Shares, but not the Forward Purchase Warrants) excluding any shares or equity linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination, any private placement equivalent warrants issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination. In no event will the Founder Shares convert into Class A ordinary shares at a rate of less than one-to-one.

Note 8 — Warrants

The Company issued an aggregate 30,375,000 Public Warrants and 14,150,000 Private Placement Warrants in connection with the Initial Public Offering and subsequent underwriters’ over-allotment option exercise during the year ended December 31, 2020. The Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Public Offering. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants sold in the Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2023

salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable, except that the Private Placement Warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Public Warrants, so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the shares of Class A common issuable upon exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A ordinary shares is available, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder, or an exemption from registration is available.

Note 9 — Net Income Per Ordinary Share

Net income per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the initial Public Offering and Private Placement in the calculation of diluted net income per share, since the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive.

The following tables reflect the calculation of basic and diluted net income per ordinary share:

Note 10 — Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments approximates the carrying amounts represented in the unaudited condensed balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying values of cash and accounts payable approximate their fair values. Certain other assets and liabilities, such as those below, are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

(1)

Measured at fair value on a recurring basis

The measurement of the Public Warrants as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 is classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market under the ticker BOAC.WS. There were no transfers into or out of Levels 2 or 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

The Warrants were accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liabilities on the unaudited condensed balance sheets. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the unaudited condensed statements of operations.

The Private Warrants were initially valued using a Monte Carlo Simulation Model. The Monte Carlo model’s primary input utilized in determining the fair value of the Private Warrants is the expected volatility of the ordinary shares. The expected volatility as of the IPO date was derived from observable public warrant pricing on comparable ‘blank-check’ companies without an identified target. The expected volatility as of subsequent valuation dates was implied from the Company’s own public warrant pricing. A Monte Carlo simulation methodology was used in estimating the fair value of the public warrants for periods where no observable traded price was available, using the same expected volatility as was used in measuring the fair value of the Private Warrants. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the warrants from the Units, the close price of the public warrant price was used as the fair value as of each relevant date.

The key inputs into the Monte Carlo simulation model for the Private Placement Warrants were as follows:


	March 31,			December 31,
Input	2023			2022
Risk-free interest rate		3.77	%		4.16	%
Expected term (years)⁽¹⁾		3.35			3.5
Expected volatility		3.0	%		2.8	%
Exercise price	$	11.50		$	11.50

(1)	Expected term (years) utilized in March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 valuations was adjusted to reflect the probability of failing to complete a de-SPAC transaction. Probability assessment was as of the March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 valuation dates.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

References to the “Company,” “Bluescape Opportunities Acquisition Corp.,” “our,” “us” or “we” refer to Bluescape Opportunities Acquisition Corp. The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on July 9, 2020 for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar Business Combination with one or more businesses that we have not yet identified. Although we are not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, we intend to focus on businesses that have sound fundamentals but that have the opportunity for substantial performance enhancement through a combination of sharpening of strategic focus, more disciplined capital allocation, capital structure improvements, rationalization of cost structure, and enhanced management skillset. Our sponsor is Bluescape Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.

We consummated our Initial Public Offering on October 30, 2020 and our underwriters partially executed their Over-Allotment Option on November 12, 2020. We also entered into Forward Purchase Agreements simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering with our Sponsor and with the Zimmer Entity which provide for the purchase of additional forward purchase units in private placements to occur concurrently with the closing of our initial Business Combination. If we are unable to complete an initial Business Combination by October 30, 2023, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay the Company’s franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

Results of Operations

Our activity from January 1, 2023 through March 31, 2023 has been limited to the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our Initial Business Combination. However, we expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we had net income of $278,757, which consisted of a non-cash gain of $445,250 from the change in fair value of Warrant liabilities, partially offset by $166,493 in general and administrative costs.

Table of Contents

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2023, we had approximately $0.4 million in our operating bank account for working capital.

Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement Warrants, our liquidity has been satisfied through the proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account of approximately $2.0 million as well as an expense reimbursement of approximately $1.2 million. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.

We intend to use substantially all of the remaining funds held in cash (less taxes payable and deferred underwriting commissions) to complete our initial Business Combination. To the extent that our equity or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in cash will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

We will be using our existing working capital funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

Going Concern Consideration

As more fully described in Note 1 to the financial statements, our business plan is dependent on the completion of a business combination, and if we are unable to complete a business combination by October 30, 2023, then we will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 1. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and the financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On July 13, 2020, our sponsor paid $25,000, to cover certain expenses on our behalf in consideration of 20,125,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 (the “Founder Shares”). On October 23, 2020, our sponsor surrendered 3,593,750 shares, resulting in an aggregate of 16,531,250 Class B ordinary shares outstanding. As a result of the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option, 1,343,750 additional Founder Shares were forfeited, resulting in 15,187,500 Founder Shares outstanding as of March 31, 2023. Prior to the initial investment in the company of $25,000 by the sponsor, the company had no assets, tangible or intangible. The per share price of the founder shares was determined by dividing the amount contributed to the company by the number of founder shares issued. The Founder Shares are identical to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering except that the Founder Shares automatically convert into shares of Class A ordinary shares at the time of our Initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustments and certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below. On October 27, 2020, the Sponsor transferred 15,000 Founder Shares to each of our independent director nominees, at the original per share purchase price. The Founder Shares will be worthless if we do not complete an initial Business Combination.

Our Sponsor has agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination or (B) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization or similar transaction after a Business Combination that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-division, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-day trading period commencing at least 150 days after a Business Combination, the Founder Shares will be released from the lockup.

Private Placement Warrants

Simultaneous with the closing of our Initial Public Offering, we consummated the Private Placement of 13,500,000 warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to our Sponsor and an investment fund managed by Zimmer Partners LP. Subsequently, on November 12, 2020, the Company received notice of the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option and we consummated the private placement of an additional 650,000 warrants, at a purchase price of $1.00 per private placement warrant, to our Sponsor and the Zimmer Entity for an aggregate of 14,150,000 warrants. Each whole Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one whole share of our Class A ordinary shares at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the purchase price of the Private Placement Warrants was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Initial Business Combination is not completed by October 30, 2023, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. The Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

Our Sponsor and our officers and directors agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Warrants until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination.

Forward Purchase Agreements

We also entered into a forward purchase agreement simultaneously with the closing of our Initial Public Offering with the Sponsor providing for the purchase of up to 3,000,000 forward purchase units, and with the Zimmer Entity providing for the purchase of up to 27,000,000 forward purchase units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per unit, in private placements to occur concurrently with the closing of our initial Business Combination. Participation by the Forward Purchase Agreement providers is discretionary. However, if requested by the Company, and approved by Zimmer Partners’ investment committee, the proceeds from the sale of forward purchase securities may be used as part of the consideration to the sellers in the initial Business Combination, expenses in connection with the initial Business Combination or for working capital in the post-transaction company. If we do not consummate an initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of our Initial Public Offering, the private placement warrants will expire worthless.

Registration Rights

The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, if any, will be entitled to registration rights (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion of such shares to Class A ordinary shares) pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement. These holders will be entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. However, the registration and shareholder rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until the termination of the applicable lock-up period for the securities to be registered. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Pursuant to the forward purchase agreements, we have agreed to use reasonable best efforts (i) to file within 30 days after the closing of a Business Combination a registration statement with the SEC for a secondary offering of the forward purchase shares and the forward purchase warrants (and underlying Class A ordinary shares), (ii) to cause such registration statement to be declared effective promptly thereafter but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the initial filing, (iii) to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement until the earliest of (A) the date on which the Sponsor, the Zimmer Entity or their respective assignees cease to hold the securities covered thereby and (B) the date all of the securities covered thereby can be sold publicly without restriction or limitation under Rule 144 under the Securities Act and (iv) after such registration statement is declared effective, cause us to conduct firm commitment underwritten offerings, subject to certain limitations. In addition, the forward purchase agreements provide that these holders will have certain “piggy-back” registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements filed by the Company.

Commitments and Contingencies

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriter was entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or $11.5 million in the aggregate paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and an incremental $0.7 million paid upon the Over-Allotment Option exercise (for an aggregate of approximately $12.2 million). In addition, $0.35 per unit, or $21.3 million in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriter for deferred underwriting commissions (inclusive of approximately $1.1 million of incremental deferred commissions related to the Over-Allotment Exercise). The deferred underwriting commissions will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Administrative Support Agreement

We entered into an agreement, commencing on October 30, 2020 through the earlier of our consummation of a Business Combination and our liquidation, to reimburse our Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we have accrued $60,000 and $30,000 payable to Sponsor, respectively, which is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheets.

Risks and Uncertainties

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus (the “COVID-19 outbreak”). In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve. The impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak and related advisories and restrictions. These developments and the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the financial markets and the overall economy are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. If the financial markets and/or the overall economy are impacted for an extended period, the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows may be materially adversely affected. Additionally, the Company’s ability to complete an Initial Business Combination may be materially adversely affected due to significant governmental measures being implemented to contain the COVID-19 outbreak or treat its impact, including travel restrictions, the shutdown of businesses and quarantines, among others, which may limit the Company’s ability to have meetings with potential investors or affect the ability of a potential target company’s personnel, vendors and service providers to negotiate and consummate an Initial Business Combination in a timely manner. The Company’s ability to consummate an Initial Business Combination may also be dependent on the ability to raise additional equity and debt financing, which may be impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak and the resulting market downturn.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. The Company has identified the following as its critical accounting policies:

Net Income per Ordinary Share

We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260, Earnings Per Share. Net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. We apply the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Remeasurement adjustments associated with the redeemable shares of Class A ordinary shares are excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value. We have not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the initial Public Offering and Private Placement in the calculation of diluted income or loss per share, since the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive.

Table of Contents

Warrant Liabilities

We account for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance FASB ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

In accordance with FASB ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-40”), the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity classification and must be recorded as liabilities. The Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants are not indexed to the Company’s own stock and therefore are accounted for as liabilities and, as the warrants meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815, the Warrants are measured at fair value at inception and at each reporting date in accordance with FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), with changes in fair value recognized in the unaudited condensed statements of operations in the period of change.

Our warrant agreements, dated as of October 27, 2020, between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agreement”), include settlement terms and provision related to certain tender offers following a business combination. In consideration of the guidance in ASC 815-40, we have concluded that such provisions in the Warrant Agreement that relate to certain tender or exchange offers precludes the Warrants from being accounted for as components of equity. As the Warrants meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815, the Warrants are recorded as derivative liabilities on the balance sheet and measured at fair value at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, with changes in fair value recognized in the unaudited condensed statements of operations in the period of change. The Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants are not indexed to the Company’s own stock and therefore are accounted for as liabilities and, as the warrants meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815, changes in fair value are recognized in the unaudited condensed statements of operations in the period of change.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for our Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Under this guidance, shares of Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Shares of conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. Our Class A ordinary shares features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2023, 7,399,446 shares of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of our balance sheets.

We recognize changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Such changes are reflected in additional paid-in capital, or in the absence of additional paid-in capital, in accumulated deficit.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2023, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K and did not have any commitments or contractual obligations.

JOBS Act

On April 5, 2012, the JOBS Act was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We will qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act will be allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new

Table of Contents

or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As such, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As of March 31, 2023, we were not subject to any market or interest rate risk.We have not engaged in any hedging activities since our inception, and we do not expect to engage in any hedging activities with respect to the market risk to which we are exposed.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarter ended March 31, 2023, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer have concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed on March 31, 2023.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
