No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to the Private Placement. The Private Placement was conducted as a non-public transaction and, as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering, is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Private Placement Units are identical to the Units, except that the Private Placement Units are subject to certain transfer restrictions described in the Registration Statement.

A total of $172,500,000 of the net proceeds from the Offering and the Private Placement was placed in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders (the “Trust Account”), with Efficiency acting as trustee. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any, the funds held in the Trust Account will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest to occur of: (a) the completion of the Company’s initial business combination, (b) the redemption of all of the Class A Ordinary Shares included in the Units sold in the Offering (“public shares”) if the Company is unable to complete its initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the Offering or such later time as the shareholders of the Company may approve in accordance with the Amended Articles, subject to applicable law, and (c) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Amended Articles (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its public shares if the Company does not complete its initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of the Offering or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity.
