Ownership

The responses to Items 5 to 11 of the cover page of this Schedule 13G are incorporated herein by reference.

As of December 31, 2020, the Reporting Persons directly hold 14,925,000 Class B ordinary shares, representing 19.9% of the Issuers issued and outstanding ordinary shares. The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of the Issuers initial business combination or earlier at the option of the holders thereof at a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment, as more fully described in the Issuers amended and restated memorandum and articles of association or under the heading Description of Securities-Founder Shares in the Issuers final prospectus (File Nos. 333-248838 and 333-249241), filed in connection with the Issuers initial public offering.

The Sponsor is the record holder of the shares reported herein. The Sponsor is a partnership, and is controlled by General Partner, and as such has voting and investment discretion with respect to the securities held by the the reporting person and may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the securities held directly by the Sponsor. General Partner is controlled by its managers Pedro Arias-Douce, Johann Dumas, Jérôme Guiraud and Bjorn Schuurmans. Each manager has one vote, and the approval of a majority of the managers is required to approve an action of the Sponsor. Under the so-called rule of three, if voting and dispositive decisions regarding an entitys securities are made by two or more individuals, and a voting and dispositive decision requires the approval of a majority of those individuals, then none of the individuals is deemed a beneficial owner of the entitys securities.

Consequently, each of Pedro Arias-Douce, Johann Dumas, Jérôme Guiraud and Bjorn Schuurmans disclaims, for purposes of Section 16 of the Act, beneficial ownership of the reported securities held by the Sponsor, except to the extent of his indirect pecuniary interest therein. This report shall not be deemed an admission that either Pedro Arias-Douce, Johann Dumas, Jérôme Guiraud or Bjorn Schuurmans are the beneficial owners of such securities for purposes of Section 16 of the Act or for any other purposes.
