On July 1, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 25,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Public Shares”). The Public Shares were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Public Share, generating gross proceeds of $250,000,000. PAG Investment LP, an affiliate of PAG and the sole member of PAG Investment, LLC (the “Sponsor”), purchased 20,000,000 Public Shares in this offering at the public offering price. Further, in connection with the IPO, the Company entered into the following agreements, forms of which were previously filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement:

·                  an Underwriting Agreement, dated June 28, 2021, among the Company, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Goldman Sachs (Asia) L.L.C. and UBS Securities LLC, as representatives of the underwriters named therein, which contains customary representations and warranties and indemnification of the underwriter by the Company;

·                  a Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement, dated June 28, 2021, among the Company, the Sponsor and certain equity holders of the Company, which provides for customary demand and piggy-back registration rights for the Sponsor, and customary piggy-back registration rights for such other equity holders, and, upon and following consummation of our initial business combination, the right of the Sponsor to nominate three individuals for election to the Company’s board of directors;

·                  a Letter Agreement, dated June 28, 2021, among the Company, the Sponsor and each executive officer and director of the Company, pursuant to which the Sponsor and each executive officer and director of the Company has agreed to vote any equity of the Company held by him, her or it in favor of the Company’s initial business combination; to facilitate the liquidation and winding up of the Company if an initial business combination is not consummated within 24 months of the date hereof; to certain transfer restrictions with respect to the Company’s securities; to certain indemnification obligations of the Sponsor; and the Company has agreed not to enter into a definitive agreement regarding an initial business combination without the prior consent of the Sponsor; and

·                  an Administrative Services Agreement, dated June 28, 2021, between the Company and the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Sponsor has agreed to make available office space, secretarial and administrative services, as may be required by the Company from time to time, for $10,000 per month until the earlier of the Company’s initial business combination or liquidation.
