Liquidity and Capital Resources
On April 12, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 5,000,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share (“Ordinary Share”), one-half of one redeemable warrant (“Warrant”) with each whole warrant entitling its holder to purchase one Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50, and one right (“Right”) to receive one-tenth of one Ordinary Share upon the consummation of an initial business combination. The Company granted the underwriters of the IPO (the “Underwriters”) a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 750,000 units at the IPO price to cover over-allotments, which was subsequently exercised on April 12, 2021 (the “Over-Allotment Option”).
