PART III -- NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Form 10-K could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

The Registrant is unable to file its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Form 10-K”) within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense because it requires additional time to finalize its financial statements to be included in the Form 10-K. The Registrant anticipates that it will file the Form 10-K within the fifteen-day grace period provided by Exchange Act Rule 12b-25.

If answer is no, identify report(s).

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, we had net income of approximately $8 million, which consists of the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of approximately $9.8 million and interest earned on marketable securities held in our trust account of approximately $11,000, partially offset by operating costs of approximately $1.5 million.

For the period from February 26, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, we had a net loss of $3,058,578, which consisted of formation and operating costs of $236,698 and transaction costs associated with the initial public offering of $543,798 offset by the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $2,280,000 and interest income on investments held in the trust account of $1,918.

The amounts reported above are still under review by the Registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm and accounting staff and may differ once reported in the Form 10-K to be filed by the Registrant.
