Liquidity and Capital Resources
Until the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company’s only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of Class B ordinary shares by our Sponsor and loans from our Sponsor.
On March 11, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 36,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $360,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of an aggregate of 9,200,000 Private Placement Warrants to our Sponsor at a price of $1.00 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $9,200,000.
On March 17, 2021, in connection with the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option, the Company sold an additional 4,845,476 Units at $10.00 per Unit and sold an additional 969,095 Private Placement Warrants at $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant. Following such closing, an additional $48,454,760 of net proceeds was deposited in the Trust Account, resulting in $408,454,760 held in the Trust Account.
Transaction costs amounted to $23,053,090 consisting of $8,169,095 of underwriting fees, $14,295,917 of deferred underwriting fees and $588,078 of other offering costs.
For the period from January 8, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was $998,126. Net income of $1,672,221 was affected by change in fair value of warrants of $3,117,492, transactions costs incurred in connection with the warrant liabilities of $465,914, interest income earned from investments in the Trust Account of $92,211 and formation expenses paid by the Sponsor of $5,000. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $68,442 of cash from operating activities.
At September 30, 2021, we had investments held in the Trust Account of $408,546,971. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less taxes payable (if applicable) and deferred underwriting commissions) to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our shares or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the post-Business Combination entity, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
At September 30, 2021, we had cash of $433,796 held outside of the Trust Account. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, properties or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants identical to the Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender.
We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking

due diligence and negotiating and consummating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in
