Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Report.

In connection with the preparation of the financial statements as of September 30, 2021, the Company reevaluated the classification of the Class A ordinary shares. The Company previously determined the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption to be equal to the redemption value of $10.00 per Class A ordinary share while also taking into consideration the requirement in the Company's amended and restated memorandum and articles of association that a redemption cannot result in the Company's net tangible assets being less than $5,000,001. Upon further evaluation, the Company determined that the Class A ordinary shares issued during the initial public offering and pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters' overallotment include certain redemption features not solely within the Company's control that, under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 480-10-S99, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, require such shares to be classified as temporary equity, regardless of the minimum net tangible assets required to complete the Company's initial business combination.

Therefore, on November 19, 2021, after consultation with Marcum LLP, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm (the "Independent Accountants"), the Company's management and audit committee of the board of directors (the "Audit Committee") concluded that the Company's previously issued financial statements on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 19, 2021 and on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021 (collectively, the "Relevant Periods") should be restated to report all Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption as temporary equity. Considering such restatement, financial statements included in the quarterly reports for the Relevant Periods, as well as the relevant portions of any communications that describe or are based on such financial statements, should no longer be relied upon. The Company will file a Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2021, which also will include the restated financial statements for the Relevant Periods.

The Company's management and the Audit Committee have discussed the matters disclosed in this Current Report on Form 8-K pursuant to this Item 4.02 with the Independent Accountants.
