• Offering Proceeds: $230,000,000 placed in a trust account with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company as trustee.
• Funds in trust generally cannot be released except for interest to pay taxes or to satisfy certain redemptions; funds remain until the earlier of a completed business combination or redemption of 100% of the public Class A shares if no combination is completed within 24 months.

Why It Matters
This filing confirms the SPAC is funded and now can pursue an initial business combination. The $230M held in trust provides downside protection for public investors because those funds are restricted and intended to be returned if the SPAC fails to complete a qualifying deal within the 24-month period. Investors should note the warrant private placements and potential future dilution from warrants and the 24-month deadline for completing a merger or other business combination.
