References throughout this Amendment No. 1 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “we,” “us,” the “Company” or “our company” are to CM Life Sciences III Inc., unless the context otherwise indicates.

This Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A amends the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of CM Life Sciences III Inc. as of and for the period ended September 30, 2021, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 15, 2021 (the “First Amended Filing”).

On November 15, 2021, CM Life Sciences III Inc. (the “Company”) filed its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ending September 30, 2021 (the “Q3 Form 10-Q”), which included a Note 2, Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements, (“Note 2”) that describes a revision to the Company’s classification of its Class A common stock subject to redemption issued as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) on April 9, 2021. As described in Note 2, upon its IPO, the Company classified a portion of the Class A common stock as permanent equity to maintain net tangible assets greater than $5,000,000 on the basis that the Company will consummate its initial business combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001. The Company’s management re-evaluated the conclusion and determined that the Class A common stock subject to redemption included certain provisions that require classification of the Class A common stock as temporary equity regardless of the minimum net tangible assets required to complete the Company’s initial business combination. As a result, management corrected the error by reclassifying all Class A common stock subject to redemption as temporary equity. This resulted in a revision to the initial carrying value of the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption with the offset recorded to additional paid-in capital (to the extent available), accumulated deficit and Class A common stock.

In connection with the change in presentation for the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption, the Company revised its earnings per share calculation to allocate income and losses shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. This presentation differs from the previously presented method of earnings per share, which was similar to the two-class method.

The Company determined the changes were not qualitatively material to the Company’s previously issued financial statements and did not restate its financial statements. Instead, the Company revised its previously financial statements in Note 2 to its Q3 Form 10-Q. Although the qualitative factors that management assessed tended to support a conclusion that the misstatements were not material, these factors were not strong enough to overcome the significant quantitative errors in the financial statements. The qualitative and quantitative factors support a conclusion that the misstatements are material on a quantitative basis. As such, upon further consideration of the change, the Company determined the change in classification of the Class A common stock and change to its presentation of earnings per share is material quantitatively and it should restate its previously issued financial statements.

Therefore, on November 22, 2021, the Company’s management and the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors (the “Audit Committee”) concluded that the Company’s previously issued (i) audited balance sheet as of April 9, 2021 (the “Post IPO Balance Sheet”), (ii) unaudited interim financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2021, filed with the SEC on August 16, 2021 (collectively, the “Affected Periods”), should be restated to report all Public Shares as temporary equity and should no longer be relied upon. As such, the Company will restate its financial statements for the Affected Periods in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A.

The Company does not expect any of the above changes will have any impact on its cash position and cash held in the trust account established in connection with the IPO.

After re-evaluation, the Company’s management has concluded that in light of the errors described above, a material weakness existed in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Affected Periods and that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. The Company’s remediation plan with respect to such material weakness is described in more detail below in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A.

FOR THE PERIOD FROM JANUARY 25, 2021 (INCEPTION) THROUGH ~~MARCH 31,~~SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

CM Life Sciences III Inc. (the “Company”) is a ~~newly organized~~ blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on January 25, 2021. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from January 25, 2021 (inception) through ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021 relates to the Company’s formation and the preparation for the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) described ~~below.~~below, and, subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income ~~on cash and cash equivalents~~ from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. ~~The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.~~

The Company’s sponsor is CMLS Holdings III LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on April 6, 2021. On April 9, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 55,200,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), including 7,200,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments (the “Over-Allotment Units”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $552.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $31.0 million, of which approximately $19.3 million was for deferred underwriting fees (see Note 6)3).

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 8,693,333 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant to the Sponsor and certain of the Company’s directors (and/or entities controlled by them), generating proceeds of approximately $13.0 million (see Note 4).

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $552.0 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”), located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and ~~will be~~was invested ~~only~~ in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which will be invested only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay taxes, if any, the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of initial Business Combination, (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of signing a definitive agreement in connection with the initial Business Combination. However, 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. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully.

The Company will provide its holders of the Public Shares (the “Public Stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) without a stockholder vote by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a proposed Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The stockholders will be entitled to redeem their shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations and on the conditions described herein. The amount in the Trust Account is at $10.00 per Public Share plus the pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account that are available for distribution to Public Stockholders. The per share amount the Company will distribute to investors who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters.

The shares of common stock subject to redemption will be recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.

The Company will have 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or April 9, 2023, to complete the initial Business Combination (the “Combination Period”) or during any extended period of time that the Company may have to consummate an initial Business Combination as a result of an amendment to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation (an “Extension Period”). However, if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or during any Extension Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, 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 its 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 Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject, in each case, to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares and Public Shares they hold in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and Public Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any founder shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or during any Extension Period, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within such time period, and (iv) vote any founder shares held by them and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering (including in open market and privately-negotiated transactions) in favor of the initial Business Combination.

The Sponsor agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company will enter into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and the Company believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. None of the Company’s officers or directors will indemnify the Company for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

On August 5, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with EQRx, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“EQRx”), and Clover III Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”). On October 28, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Merger Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company will acquire EQRx through the merger of Merger Sub with and into EQRx, with EQRx surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger, the Company will be renamed. Pursuant to the Amendment, in addition to our stockholders’ approval of our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Proposed Charter”) under our governing documents and applicable law, the parties agreed to a mutual closing condition that the Proposed Charter shall have been approved at the Special Meeting (as defined in the Merger Agreement) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Class A Common Stock”) then outstanding and entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting, voting separately as a single series.

The EQRx Business Combination is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2021, following the receipt of the required approval by EQRx’s and the Company’s stockholders and the satisfaction of certain other customary closing conditions.

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of EQRx’s common stock and preferred stock (collectively, “EQRx Capital Sock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled and automatically deemed for all purposes to represent the right to receive a portion of the total consideration, with each EQRx’s stockholder (as applicable) being entitled to receive a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to: (x) such EQRx stockholder’s total shares of EQRx Capital Stock multiplied by (y) the number equal to the final quotient of: (i) $3,650,000,000 divided by (ii) 10 divided by (iii) the Aggregate Company Share Amount (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

In addition, at the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase EQRx Capital Stock will be rolled over into options to purchase Class A Common Stock, as further set forth in and in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement; and each outstanding EQRx restricted stock award will be cancelled and converted into restricted stock awards of Class A Common Stock calculated in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.

Refer to the Company’s current report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on August 6, 2021, for more information.

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry 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 condensed consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, the Company had approximately ~~$88,000~~$2.1 million in cash, and working capital ~~deficiency~~ of approximately ~~$362,000.~~$54,000.

The Company’s liquidity needs through ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021 were satisfied through the payment of $25,000 from the Sponsor to cover for certain offering costs on behalf of the Company in exchange for issuance of the Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5), ~~and~~ loan proceeds from the Sponsor of $156,000 under the Note (as defined in Note 5). and the proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. Subsequent to March 31, 2021, the Company borrowed an additional amount of ~~$40,000,~~$44,000, for a total of $200,000 outstanding balance under the Note. On April 9, 2021, the Company repaid the Note in ~~full.~~full and borrowings under the Note are no longer available. Subsequent from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company’s liquidity has been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement held outside of the Trust Account. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, our Sponsor may, but is not obligated to, provide us Working Capital Loans (as defined in Note 5). As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loan.

~~Based on the foregoing, management believes~~Management has determined that the Company ~~will have sufficient working capital~~has access to funds from the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and ~~borrowing capacity~~directors to meet ~~its~~the Company’s needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, the Company will be using the funds held outside of the Trust Account 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.

Note 2 —- Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ~~generally accepted accounting principles~~of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X 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, all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) considered for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and for the period from January 25, 2021 (inception) through ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021 or any future period.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s prospectus ~~on Form 424B4~~ as filed with the SEC on April 8, 2021 which contains the audited financial statements and the notes thereto.

In preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021, the Company concluded it should restate its previously issued financial statements to classify all Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in temporary equity. In accordance with the SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company, require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. The Company had previously classified a portion of its Class A common stock in permanent equity. Although the Company did not specify a maximum redemption threshold, its charter currently provides that the Company will not redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. Previously, the Company did not consider redeemable shares classified as temporary equity as part of net tangible assets. Effective with these condensed financial statements, the Company revised this interpretation to include temporary equity in net tangible assets. In connection with the change in presentation for the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption, the Company has revised its earnings per share calculation to allocate income and losses shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. This presentation contemplates a Business Combination as the most likely outcome, in which case, both classes of shares participate pro rata in the income and losses of the Company.

In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, “Materiality,” and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,” the Company evaluated the corrections and has determined that the related impact was material to the previously filed financial statements that contained the error, as reported in the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 2, 2021 (the “Post-IPO Balance Sheet”) and Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2021 (the “Affected Quarterly Period”). Therefore, the Company, in consultation with its Audit Committee, concluded that the Post-IPO Balance Sheet and Affected Quarterly Period should be restated to present all Class A common stock subject to possible redemption as temporary equity and to recognize accretion from the initial book value to redemption value at the time of its Initial Public Offering. As such, the Company is reporting these restatements to those periods in this quarterly report.

The impact of the restatement to the Post-IPO Balance Sheet is an increase to Class A common stock subject to possible redemption of approximately $69.2 million, a decrease to additional paid-in capital of $21.3 million, an increase to the accumulated deficit of $47.9 million, and the reclassification of 6,924,903 Class A common stock from permanent equity to Class A common stock subject to possible redemption as presented below.

The impact of the restatement on the financial statements for the Affected Quarterly Period is presented below.

The table below presents the effect of the financial statement adjustments related to the restatement discussed above of the Company’s previously reported balance sheet as of June 30, 2021:

The Company’s statement of stockholders’ equity has been restated to reflect the changes to the impacted stockholders’ equity accounts described above.

The table below presents the effect of the financial statement adjustments related to the restatement discussed above of the Company’s previously reported statement of cash flows for the period from January 25, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2021:

The impact to the reported amounts of weighted average shares outstanding and basic and diluted earnings per share is presented below for the Affected Quarterly Period:

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company is an “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”), 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 auditor 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 stockholder 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 statement 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.

~~The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2021.~~

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. As of March 31, 2021, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

The preparation of ~~unaudited condensed~~ financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires 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.~~

statements and the reported amounts of income and 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 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.

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2021.

The Company’s portfolio of investments is comprised of 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 investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of money market funds, the investments are recognized at fair value. Trading securities and investments in money market funds are 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 is included in income on investments held in the Trust Account in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. As of September 30, 2021, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities ~~approximates~~which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements,” equal or approximate the carrying amounts represented in the ~~accompanying~~condensed consolidated balance ~~sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.~~sheet.

Fair value is defined 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:~~consist of:

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.

Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the balance sheet date that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering and that will be charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs will be allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with derivative warrant liabilities will be expensed as incurred, presented as non-operating expenses in the statement of operations. Offering costs associated with the Class A ~~common stock will be~~Common Stock issued were charged ~~to stockholders’ equity~~against the carrying value of the shares of Class A Common Stock upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

~~Net Loss Per Common Share~~ The Company classifies deferred underwriting commissions as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period, excluding common stock subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor. As of March 31, 2021, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share for the period presented.

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and FASB ASC ~~815-15.~~Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. In accordance with ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments”, offering costs attributable to the issuance of the derivative warrant liabilities have been allocated based on their relative fair value of total proceeds and are recognized in the statement of operations as incurred.

The ~~11,040,000~~ warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering (the “Public Warrants”) and the ~~8,693,333~~ Private Placement Warrants will be recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC ~~815-40.~~815. Accordingly, the Company ~~will recognize~~recognizes the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and ~~adjust~~adjusts the carrying value of the instruments to fair value at each reporting ~~period.~~period until they are exercised. The ~~liabilities will be subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised. The~~initial fair value of the Public Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering ~~and Private Placement will be~~were estimated using a Monte Carlo ~~simulation~~model. The fair value of the Public Warrants as of September 30, 2021 is based on observable listed prices for such warrants. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants as of September 30, 2021 is determined using Black-Scholes option pricing model. The determination of the fair value of the warrant liability may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and ~~Black-Scholes model each measurement date.~~accordingly the actual results could differ significantly. Derivative warrant liabilities ~~will be~~are classified as non-current liabilities as their liquidation ~~will~~is not be reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

The Company accounts for its Class A Common Stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A Common Stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A Common Stock (including Class A Common Stock that features 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. At all other times, Class A Common Stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A Common Stock feature 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 Initial Public Offering, 55,200,000 shares of Class A Common Stock subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Effective with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount, which resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income ~~Taxes.”~~Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred 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. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2021. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. ~~There~~No amounts were ~~no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts~~ accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021. 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 ~~deferred tax assets were deemed~~Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to ~~be de minimis~~ as Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of ~~March 31, 2021,~~shares. Net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the respective period.

The calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the ~~provision for~~Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of 19,733,333 shares of Class A Common Stock in the calculation of diluted income ~~taxes was deemed to~~(loss) per share, because their exercise is contingent upon future events and their inclusion would be ~~de minimis~~anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. As a result, diluted net income (loss) per share is the same as basic net income (loss) per share for the ~~period~~three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A Common Stock is excluded from ~~January 25, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2021.~~earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

The following table reflects presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for each class of common stock:

In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. The ASU 2020-06 also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, and it simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2021 using a modified retrospective method for transition. Adoption of the ASU 2020-06 did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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

On April 9, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 55,200,000 Units, including 7,200,000 Over-Allotment Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $552.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $31.0 million, of which approximately $19.3 million was for deferred underwriting commissions.

Each Unit consists of one share of Class A ~~common stock~~Common Stock and one-fifth of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A ~~common stock~~Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Only whole warrants are exercisable. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. The warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination and will expire five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 8,693,333 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, to the Sponsor and certain of the Company’s directors (and/or entities controlled by them), generating proceeds of approximately $13.0 million. Of these, the Sponsor purchased 8,110,001 Private Placement Warrants, and each of Mr. Henry, Mr. Robins and Dr. Robins (and/or one or more entities controlled by them) purchased 166,666 Private Placement Warrants and Mr. Owusu-Kesse (and/or one or more entities controlled by him) purchased 83,334 Private Placement Warrants.

The Private Placement Warrants were identical to the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants, so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, (i) will not be redeemable by the Company (except as described herein), (ii) may not (including the Class A ~~common stock~~Common Stock issuable upon exercise of these warrants), subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, (iii) may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis and (iv) will be entitled to certain registration rights.

If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering.

On February 4, 2021, the Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.002 per share, to cover certain offering costs in consideration for 11,500,000 shares (the “Founder Shares”) of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 ~~(the “Founder Shares”~~(“Class B Common Stock”). In February 2021, the Sponsor transferred 25,000 Founder Shares to each of Mr. Henry, Mr. Owusu-Kesse, Mr. Robins and Dr. Robins. On April 6, 2021, the Company effected a ~~1:1.2~~1.2:1 stock split of the Class B ~~common stock,~~Common Stock, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 13,700,000 Founder Shares and there being an aggregate of 13,800,000 Founder Shares outstanding. All shares and the associated amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the aforementioned stock split. Of these, up to 1,800,000 Founder Shares were subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised, so that the initial stockholders would collectively own 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock after the Initial Public Offering. The underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full on April 7, 2021 and closed the purchase of the additional units on April 9, 2021; thus, these 1,800,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.

The initial stockholders agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination and (B) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction after the initial Business Combination that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their Class A ~~common stock~~Common Stock for cash, securities or other property; except to certain permitted transferees (the “lock-up”). Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the initial stockholders with respect to any Founder Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) the closing price of the Company’s Class A ~~common stock~~Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination or (2) if the Company consummates a transaction after the initial Business Combination which results in the stockholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property, the Founder Shares will be released from the lock-up.

On February 4, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). This loan was non-interest bearing, unsecured and is due upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. As of March 31, 2021, the Company borrowed $156,000 under the Note. Subsequent to March 31, 2021, the Company borrowed an additional amount of ~~$40,000,~~$44,000, for a total of $200,000 outstanding balance under the Note. On April 9, 2021, the Company repaid the Note in full. As of September 30, 2021, the Note was no longer available.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of 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 the initial Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

On April 6, 2021, the Company entered into separate forward purchase agreements with affiliates of the Sponsor, in their capacities as investment advisors on behalf of one or more investment funds, clients or accounts managed by affiliates of the Sponsor (collectively, the “Clients”), pursuant to which, the affiliates will cause certain Clients to purchase from the Company up to an aggregate amount of 15,000,000 shares of Class A ~~common stock~~Common Stock (the “Forward Purchase Shares”), for $10.00 per Forward Purchase Share, or an aggregate amount of up to $150,000,000 in a private placement that will close concurrently with the closing of an initial Business Combination. The respective obligations of Clients to purchase Forward Purchase Shares will, among other things, be conditioned on the completing an initial Business Combination with a company engaged in a business that is within the investment objectives of the Clients purchasing Forward Purchase Shares and on the Business Combination (including the target assets or business, and the terms of the Business Combination) being reasonably acceptable to such Clients as determined by the affiliates of the Sponsor.

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry 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 this financial statement. The financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The holders of the (i) Founder Shares, (ii) Private Placement Warrants and the shares of Class A ~~common stock~~Common Stock underlying such Private Placement Warrants and (iii) Private Placement Warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and (iv) any Forward Purchase Shares that are issued in a private placement simultaneously with the closing of the initial Business Combination, had registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of its securities held by them pursuant to a registration rights agreement. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company registers such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Company’s completion of the initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to an additional 7,200,000 units to cover over-allotments, if any. The underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full on April 7, 2021 and closed the purchase of the additional Units on April 9, 2021.

The underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of two percent (2%) of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or approximately $11.0 million. Additionally, the underwriters will be entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or approximately $19.3 million if the underwriters’ over-allotment is exercised in full), upon the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination.

The Company’s Class A Common Stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of future events. The Company is authorized to issue 380,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Company’s Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share. As of September 30, 2021, there were 55,200,000 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding, which were all subject to possible redemption and are classified outside of permanent equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The Class A Common Stock subject to possible redemption reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheet is reconciled on the following table:

Preferred stock - The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 and 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 September 30, 2021, there was no preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Class A Common Stock - The Company is authorized to issue 380,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of September 30, 2021, there were 55,200,000 Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding, which were all subject to possible redemption and have been classified as temporary equity (see Note 7).

Class B Common Stock - The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders are entitled to one vote for each share of Class B Common Stock. As of September 30, 2021, there were 13,800,000 shares of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding.

Holders of Class A Common Stock and holders of Class B Common Stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders except as required by law. Unless specified in the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, or as required by applicable provisions of the DGCL or applicable stock exchange rules, the affirmative vote of a majority of the Company’s shares of common stock that are voted is required to approve any such matter voted on by its stockholders.

The shares of Class B Common Stock will automatically convert into Class A Common Stock concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of the initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional shares of Class A Common Stock or equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding after such conversion (after giving effect to any redemptions of shares of Class A Common Stock by Public Stockholders), including the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued, or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial Business Combination (including any Forward Purchase Shares), excluding any shares of Class A Common Stock or equity-linked securities or rights exercisable for or convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor, officers or directors upon conversion of Working Capital Loans; provided that such conversion of Founder Shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, there were ~~no warrants outstanding.~~11,040,000 and 8,693,333 Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants outstanding, respectively.

Each whole Public ~~warrant~~Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one share of Class A ~~common stock~~Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed herein. In addition, if (x) the Company issue additional shares of Class A ~~common stock~~Common Stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination (excluding any issuance of Forward Purchase Shares) at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A ~~common stock~~Common Stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the initial stockholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the initial stockholders or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance), (the “Newly Issued Price”) (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s Class A ~~common stock~~Common Stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described under “—“- Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A ~~common stock~~Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00” and under “—“- Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A ~~common stock~~Common Stock equals or exceeds $10.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $10.00 per share redemption trigger price described under “—“- Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A ~~common stock~~Common Stock equals or exceeds $10.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

The warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of its initial Business Combination and will expire five years after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, it will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Class A ~~common stock~~Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants.

The Company will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the Class A ~~common stock~~Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the sixtieth (60^th) business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company’s Class A ~~common stock~~Common Stock are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elect, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, it will use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A ~~common stock~~Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00.

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A ~~common stock~~Common Stock equals or exceeds $10.00.

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:

The “fair market value” of the Company’s Class A ~~common stock~~Common Stock shall mean the volume weighted average price of the Company’s Class A ~~common stock~~Common Stock during the 10 trading days immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. The Company will provide its warrant holders with the final fair market value no later than one business day after the 10 trading day period described above ends. In no event will the warrants be exercisable in connection with this redemption feature for more than 0.361 shares of Class A ~~common stock~~Common Stock per warrant (subject to adjustment).

The Company will account for the 19,733,333 warrants issued in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Such guidance provides that because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant must be recorded as a liability due to the existence of provisions whereby adjustments to the exercise price of the warrants is based on a variable that is not an input to the fair value of a ‘‘’‘fixed-for-fixed’’ option and the existence of the potential for net cash settlement for the warrant holders (but not all common stockholders) in the event of a tender offer.

The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record a derivative liability upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Accordingly, the Company will classify each warrant as a liability at its fair value and the warrants will be allocated a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the Units equal to its fair value determined by the Monte Carlo simulation and Black-Scholes model. This liability will be subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each such re-measurement, the warrant liability will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. The Company will reassess the classification at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the warrants will be reclassified as of the date of the event that causes the reclassification.

The following table presents information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2021 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques that the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2, and 3 are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period. The estimated fair value of Public Warrants was transferred from a Level 3 fair value measurement to a Level 1 measurement, when the Public Warrants were separately listed and traded in May 2021. There were no other transfers to/from Levels 1, 2, and 3 during the period from January 25, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021.

Level 1 instruments include investments in U.S Treasury Securities invested in U.S. government securities and, as of September 30, 2021, the Public Warrants. The Company ~~is authorized~~uses inputs such as actual trade data, benchmark yields, quoted market prices from dealers or brokers, and other similar sources to ~~issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par~~determine the fair value of ~~$0.0001 and with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences~~its investments. The fair value of the Public Warrants as ~~may be determined from time to time by~~of September 30, 2021 is measured utilizing the ~~Company’s board of directors. As of March 31, 2021, there was no preferred stock issued or outstanding.~~listed trading price.

~~Class A common stock~~ — The Company ~~is authorized~~utilizes a Black-Scholes option pricing model to ~~issue 380,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par~~estimate the fair value of ~~$0.0001 per share. As of March 31, 2021, there was no shares of Class A common stock issued or outstanding.~~

~~Class B common stock~~ —the Private Placement Warrants at each reporting period. The Company ~~is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares~~recognized a loss of ~~Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders are entitled to one vote~~approximately $15,213,000 for ~~each share of Class B common stock. On February 4, 2021,~~ the ~~Company issued 11,500,000 shares of Class B common stock. On~~derivative warrant liabilities upon their issuance on April ~~6, 2021, the Company effected a 1:1.2 stock split of the Class B common stock, resulting in~~9, 2021. The Sponsor paid an aggregate of 13,800,000 shares of Class B common stock outstanding. All shares and the associated amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the aforementioned stock split. Of the 13,800,000 shares of Class B common stock, an aggregate of up to 1,800,000 shares were subject to forfeiture to the Company$13,040,000 for no consideration to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part, so that the initial stockholders would collectively own 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock after the Initial Public Offering. The underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full on April 7, 2021 and closed the purchase of the additional units on April 9, 2021; thus, these 1,800,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.

Holders of Class A common stock and holders of Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders except as required by law. Unless specified in the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, or as required by applicable provisions of the DGCL or applicable stock exchange rules, the affirmative vote of a majority of the Company’s shares of common stock that are voted is required to approve any such matter voted on by its stockholders.

The shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert into Class A common stock concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of the initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination, the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the total number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding after such conversion (after giving effect to any redemptions of shares of Class A common stock by Public Stockholders), including the total number of shares of Class A common stock issued, or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial Business Combination (including any Forward Purchase Shares), excluding any shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities or rights exercisable for or convertible into shares of Class A common stock issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any Private Placement Warrants ~~issued~~with an initial aggregate fair value of approximately $28,253,000.

The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Black-Scholes option pricing model are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock based on historical volatility of select peer companies that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the ~~Sponsor, officers or directors upon conversion~~expected remaining life of ~~Working Capital Loans; provided that such conversion~~the warrants. The expected life of ~~Founder Shares will never occur~~the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term.

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

References to the “Company,” “our,” “us” or “we” refer to CM Life Sciences III Inc. The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated 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.

This Quarterly Report on Form ~~10-Q~~10-Q/A includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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. Such statements include, but are not limited to, possible business combinations and the financing thereof, and related matters, as well as all other statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Form ~~10-Q.~~10-Q/A. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings.

We are a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on January 25, 2021. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). Our sponsor is CMLS Holdings III LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (our “Sponsor”).

The registration statement for our Initial Public Offering was declared effective on April 6, 2021. On April 9, 2021, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 55,200,000 Units, including 7,200,000 Over-Allotment Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $552.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $31.0 million, of which approximately $19.3 million was for deferred underwriting fees.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 8,693,333 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant to the Sponsor and certain of the Company’s directors (and/or entities controlled by them), generating proceeds of approximately $13.0 million.

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $552.0 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”), located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and will be invested only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which will be invested only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to us to pay taxes, if any, the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of initial Business Combination, (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

We will have 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or April 9, 2023, to complete our initial Business Combination (the “Combination Period”) or during any extended period of time that we may have to consummate an initial Business Combination as a result of an amendment to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation (an “Extension Period”). However, if we are unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or during any Extension Period, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, 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 us to pay our 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 Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject, in each case, to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

We intend to effectuate our initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement and any forward purchase shares, the proceeds of the sale of our shares in connection with our initial business combination (pursuant to forward purchase agreements or backstop agreements we may enter into following the consummation of this offering or otherwise), shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, or a combination of the foregoing.

The issuance of additional shares in connection with a business combination to the owners of the target or other investors, including any forward purchase shares:

Similarly, if we issue debt securities or otherwise incur significant debt to bank or other lenders or the owners of a target, it could result in:

On August 5, 2021, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with EQRx, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“EQRx”), and Clover III Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and our direct, wholly owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, we will acquire EQRx through the merger of Merger Sub with and into EQRx, with EQRx surviving as our wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger, the Company will be renamed.

The Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (collectively, the “EQRx Business Combination”) were approved by the boards of directors of each of the Company and EQRx. The EQRx Business Combination is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2021, following the receipt of the required approval by EQRx’s and our stockholders and the satisfaction of certain other customary closing conditions.

On October 28, 2021, we entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the Amendment, in addition to our stockholders’ approval of our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Proposed Charter”) under our governing documents and applicable law, the parties agreed to a mutual closing condition that the Proposed Charter shall have been approved at the Special Meeting (as defined in the Merger Agreement) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Class A Common Stock then outstanding and entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting, voting separately as a single series.

Refer to the Company’s current reports on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on August 6, 2021 and October 29, 2021, for more information.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, wethe Company had approximately ~~$88,000~~$2.1 million in cash, and working capital ~~deficiency~~ of approximately ~~$362,000.~~$54,000.

Our liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering were satisfied through the payment of $25,000 from our Sponsor to cover for certain offering costs on behalf of us in exchange for issuance of the Founder Shares, and loan proceeds from the Sponsor of $156,000 under the Note. Subsequent to March 31, 2021, we borrowed an additional amount of $40,000, for a total of $200,000 outstanding balance under the Note. On April 9, 2021, we repaid the Note in ~~full.~~full and borrowings under the Note are no longer available. Subsequent from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, our liquidity has been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement held outside of the Trust Account. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, our Sponsor may, but is not obligated to, provide us Working Capital Loans. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loan.

~~Based on the foregoing, management believes~~Management has determined that we ~~will~~ have ~~sufficient working capital~~access to funds from the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and ~~borrowing capacity~~directors to meet our needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, we will be using the funds held outside of the Trust Account 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.

Our entire activity since inception through ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021 related to our formation and the preparation for the Initial Public ~~Offering.~~Offering and, following the Initial Public Offering, our identification and evaluation of prospective acquisition targets for our initial Business Combination. We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. We will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial Business Combination. We will generate non-operating income in the form of gain on investment (net), dividends and interest held in Trust Account. 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 September 30, 2021, we had net income of approximately $6,544,000, which consisted of income from investments held in the Trust Account of approximately $8,000 and approximately $8,683,000 non-operating gain resulting from the change in fair value of derivative liabilities, approximately $36,000 of offering cost associated with derivative warrant liabilities, offset by approximately $2,132,000 in general and administrative expense and approximately $50,000 in franchise tax expenses.

For the period from January 25, 2021 (inception) through ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, we had a net loss of ~~approximately $36,000,~~$25,296,000 which consisted of approximately ~~$700~~$1,006,000 offering costs associated with derivative warrant liabilities, approximately $15,213,000 loss upon issuance of private placement warrants, approximately $6,674,000 non-operating gain resulting from the change in fair value of derivative liabilities, approximately $2,284,000 in general and administrative ~~expenses,~~expense and approximately ~~$35,000 of~~$134,000 in franchise tax ~~expense.~~expenses, partially offset by income from investments held in the Trust Account of approximately $15,000.

On April 6, 2021, we entered into separate forward purchase agreements with affiliates of our Sponsor, in their capacities as investment advisors on behalf of one or more investment funds, clients or accounts managed by affiliates of our Sponsor (collectively, the “Clients”), pursuant to which, the affiliates will cause certain Clients to purchase from us up to an aggregate amount of 15,000,000 shares of Class A ~~common stock~~Common Stock (the “Forward Purchase Shares”), for $10.00 per Forward Purchase Share, or an aggregate amount of up to $150,000,000 in a private placement that will close concurrently with the closing of an initial Business Combination. The respective obligations of Clients to purchase Forward Purchase Shares will, among other things, be conditioned on the completing an initial Business Combination with a company engaged in a business that is within the investment objectives of the Clients purchasing Forward Purchase Shares and on the Business Combination (including the target assets or business, and the terms of the Business Combination) being reasonably acceptable to such Clients as determined by the affiliates of our Sponsor.

The holders of the (i) Founder Shares, (ii) Private Placement Warrants and the shares of Class A ~~common stock~~Common Stock underlying such Private Placement Warrants and (iii) Private Placement Warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and (iv) any Forward Purchase Shares that are issued in a private placement simultaneously with the closing of the initial Business Combination, had registration rights to require us to register a sale of any of its securities held by them pursuant to a registration rights agreement. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Company’s completion of the initial Business Combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

We granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to an additional 7,200,000 units to cover over-allotments, if any. The underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full on April 7, 2021 and closed the purchase of the additional Units on April 9, 2021.

This management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to fair value of financial instruments and accrued expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We have identified the following as its critical accounting policies:

Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the balance sheet date that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs will be allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with derivative warrant liabilities will be expensed as incurred, presented as non-operating expenses in the statement of operations. Offering costs associated with the Class A common stock will be charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

~~We do~~The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. ~~We evaluate~~The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and FASB ASC ~~815-15.~~Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. In accordance with ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments”, offering costs attributable to the issuance of the derivative warrant liabilities have been allocated based on their relative fair value of total proceeds and are recognized in the statement of operations as incurred.

The ~~11,040,000 Public Warrants~~warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering (the “Public Warrants”) and the ~~8,693,333~~ Private Placement Warrants will be recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC ~~815-40.~~815. Accordingly, ~~we will recognize~~the Company recognizes the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and ~~adjust~~adjusts the carrying value of the instruments to fair value at each reporting ~~period.~~period until they are exercised. The ~~liabilities will be subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised. The~~initial fair value of the Public Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering ~~and Private Placement will be~~were estimated using a Monte Carlo ~~simulation~~model. The fair value of the Public Warrants as of September 30, 2021 is based on observable listed prices for such warrants. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants as of September 30, 2021 is determined using Black-Scholes option pricing model. The determination of the fair value of the warrant liability may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and ~~Black-Scholes model each measurement date.~~accordingly the actual results could differ significantly. Derivative warrant liabilities ~~will be~~are classified as non-current liabilities as their liquidation ~~will~~is not be reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the respective period.

The calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of 19,733,333 shares of Class A Common Stock in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share, because their exercise is contingent upon future events and their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. As a result, diluted net income (loss) per share is the same as basic net income (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A Common Stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act are 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 or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, the financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our Initial Public Offering or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The ASU 2020-06 also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, and it simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2021 using a modified retrospective method for transition. Adoption of the ASU 2020-06 did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Our management does not believe there are any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, that would have a material effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.

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 ~~March 31,~~the end of the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based ~~upon their~~on this evaluation, our ~~Chief Executive Officer~~principal executive officer and ~~Chief Financial Officer~~principal financial officer has concluded that ~~solely due to~~during the Company’s misclassification of the Warrants as derivative liabilities measured at fair value (as described more fully in “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations— Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates — Derivatives Warrant Liabilities” above),period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, because of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Specifically, the material weakness identified in our internal controls related to the Company’s accounting for complex financial instruments. This material weakness resulted in the restatement of the Company’s balance sheet as of April 9, 2021, and its interim financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

~~We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud.~~ Disclosure controls and procedures ~~no matter how well conceived~~are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and ~~operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance~~reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that ~~the objectives of the disclosure controls~~such information is accumulated and ~~procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls~~communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and ~~procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative~~principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditionsallow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

~~During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been~~There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting asexcept for the ~~circumstances leading~~below:

Our plans at this time include providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents and increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.standards.

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report on Form ~~10-Q~~10-Q/A are any of the risks described in the final prospectus for the Initial Public Offering as filed with the SEC on April 8, 2021. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. As of the date of this Form ~~10-Q,~~10-Q/A, other than as described below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our final prospectus, except we may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

Our warrants are accounted for as liabilities and the changes in value of our warrants could have a material effect on our financial results.

On April 12, 2021, the Acting Director of the Division of Corporation Finance and Acting Chief Accountant of the SEC together issued a statement regarding the accounting and reporting considerations for warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the “SEC Statement”). Specifically, the SEC Statement expressed the view that certain terms and conditions common to warrants issued in connection with the initial public offerings of special purpose acquisition companies may require such warrants to be classified as liabilities on a balance sheet rather than as ~~equity~~.equity. As a result of the SEC Statement and in light of evolving views as to certain provisions commonly included in warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies, we, in consultation with our independent registered public accounting firm and our audit committee,, and determined to revise our prior position and classify the Warrants as derivative liabilities measured at fair value, with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings.

As a result, the Company’s Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants ~~will be~~are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40, which provides for the remeasurement of the fair value of such derivatives at each balance sheet date, with a resulting non-cash gain or loss related to the change in the fair value being recognized in earnings in the statement of operations. As a result of the recurring fair value measurement, our Financial Statements and results of operations may fluctuate quarterly, based on factors, which are outside of our control. Due to the recurring fair value measurement, we expect that we will recognize non-cash gains or losses on our warrants each reporting period and that the amount of such gains or losses could be material.

We ~~have~~ identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021. If we are unable to develop and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results in a timely manner, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.

~~Following the issuance of the SEC Statement, after consultation with our independent registered public accounting firm, our~~

Our management and our audit committee concluded that it was appropriate to revise our prior position on accounting for warrants as equity instruments to instead classify warrants as liabilities measured at fair value, with subsequent fair value remeasurement. See section entitled “—Our warrants are accounted for as liabilities and the changes in value of our warrants could have a material effect on our financial results.” As part of the misclassification, we identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting.

~~As a result of such~~A material weakness ~~the misclassification, and other matters raised~~is a deficiency, or ~~that may~~a combination of deficiencies, in the future be raised by the SEC, we face potential for litigation or other disputes which may include, among others, claims invoking the federal and state securities laws, contractual claims or other claims arising from the misclassification and material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting ~~and the preparation~~such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial ~~statements.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities

On April 6, 2021, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 55,200,000 Units, inclusive of underwriters’ election to fully exercise their over-allotment option for an additional 7,200,000 Units. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $552,000,000. Jefferies LLC acted as the book running manager of the offering. The securities sold in the offering were registered under the Securities Act on registration statements on Form S-1 (No. 333-253475 and 333-255078). The SEC declared the registration statement effective on April 6, 2021.

Simultaneously with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the full exercise of the over-allotment option, we consummated a private placement of 8,693,333 Private Placement Warrants to our Sponsor and certain of the Company’s directors (and/or entities controlled by them) at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds of $13,040,000. Such securities were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

The Private Placement Warrants are the same as the warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that Private Placement Warrants are not transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis and are non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees.

Of the gross proceeds received from the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, $552,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account.

We paid a total of $11,040,000 underwriting discounts and commissions and approximately $657,000 for other costs and expenses related to the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the underwriters agreed to defer $19,320,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions.

For a description of the use of the proceeds generated in our Initial Public Offering, see Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form ~~10-Q.~~10-Q/A.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized on this ~~26th~~23rd day of ~~May~~November 2021.
