NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 — Organization and Business Operations
Agrico Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on July 31, 2020. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”).
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity through March 31, 2022 relates to the Company’s formation and preparation for the Initial Public Offering (the “Public Offering” or “IPO”) as described below, and subsequent to the IPO, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income and unrealized gains from the cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The Company’s
sponsor is DJCAAC, LLC, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s
IPO was declared effective on July 7, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). On July 12, 2021, the Company consummated the initial public
offering (the “Public Offering” or “IPO”) of

The Company
will provide its public shareholders 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 general meeting called to approve the initial Business Combination or
(ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a proposed initial Business
Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The shareholders will be entitled to redeem
their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (initially approximately $
If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within 12 months (or up to 21 months if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a business combination by the full amount of time) from the closing of the Public Offering (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 us to pay the Company’s franchise and income taxes (less up to $50,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
The Sponsor,
officers and directors have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares 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 shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate
memorandum and articles of association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem
The Sponsor
has 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 has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or
similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to below the lesser of (i) $

Merger Agreement
On January 30, 2022, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with (i) Figgreen Limited, a private limited company incorporated in Ireland with registered number 606356 (“Pubco”), (ii) Kalera Cayman Merger Sub, a Caymans Islands exempted company (“Cayman Merger Sub”), (iii) Kalera Luxembourg Merger Sub SARL, a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (“Lux Merger Sub” and, together with Cayman Merger Sub, the “Merger Subs”) and (iv) Kalera AS, a Norwegian private limited liability company (the “Kalera”).
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, (i) a merger will occur, pursuant to which Cayman Merger Sub will merge with and into Agrico, with Agrico continuing as the surviving entity and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (the “First Merger”) and Agrico will issue ordinary shares (the “Agrico Ordinary Shares”) to Pubco (the “Agrico Share Issuance”) and the holders of Agrico Ordinary Shares will receive shares in the capital of Pubco and holders of warrants of Agrico (the “Agrico Warrants”) will have their Agrico Warrants assumed by Pubco and adjusted to become exercisable for shares in the capital of Pubco, in each case as consideration for the First Merger and the Agrico Share Issuance, (ii) at least one (1) business day following the First Merger and subject thereto, the second merger will occur, pursuant to which Lux Merger Sub will merge with and into Kalera with Kalera as the surviving entity of the second merger (the “Second Merger”) and in this context Kalera will issue shares to Pubco (the “Kalera Share Issuance”), and (iii) immediately following the Second Merger and the Kalera Capital Reduction (as defined below), the shareholders of Kalera (the “Kalera Shareholders”) (except Pubco) will receive shares in the capital of Pubco and the holders of Kalera’s outstanding options (the “Kalera Options”) will receive options in the capital of Pubco, in each case as consideration for the ordinary shares of Kalera (the “Kalera Shares”) and the Kalera Options being cancelled and ceasing to exist or being assumed (as applicable) upon completion of the Second Merger by way of a capital reduction pursuant to the Luxembourg Companies Act (the “Kalera Capital Reduction”). As a result of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, Kalera will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco.
Upon consummation of the First Merger, (i) each Class A ordinary share (the “Agrico Class A Ordinary Shares”) outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger (the “First Merger Effective Time”) will be automatically cancelled in exchange for and converted into one ordinary share of Pubco (the “Pubco Ordinary Shares”), (ii) each Class B ordinary share (the “Agrico Class B Ordinary Shares”) outstanding immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time will be automatically cancelled in exchange for and converted into one Pubco Ordinary Share, and (iii) each outstanding public Agrico Warrant (the “Agrico Public Warrants”) and private Agrico Warrants will remain outstanding and will automatically be adjusted to become a Pubco Warrant.
Upon consummation
of the Second Merger, each Kalera Share outstanding immediately prior to the Second Merger Effective Time will be cancelled and cease

Consideration
The First Merger: Consideration to Agrico Security holders
The first transaction that comprises the Business Combination is the First Merger, pursuant to which Cayman Merger Sub will merge with and into Agrico, with Agrico surviving and being a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco.
Upon consummation of the First Merger, (i) each Agrico Class A ordinary share outstanding immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time will be automatically cancelled in exchange for and converted into one Pubco Ordinary Share (ii) each Agrico Class B ordinary share outstanding immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time will be automatically cancelled in exchange for and converted into one Pubco Ordinary Share, and (iii) each outstanding Agrico Public Warrant and Agrico Private Warrant will remain outstanding and will automatically be adjusted to become a Pubco Warrant, respectively. As a result of the First Merger and the conversion or automatic adjustment (as applicable) of Agrico securities into securities of Pubco, the rights of Agrico security holders will change in material ways.
7
The Second Merger: Consideration to Kalera Security holders
At least
one (1) business day following the First Merger and subject thereto, Pubco, Kalera and Lux Merger Sub will cause the Second Merger to
be consummated, pursuant to which Lux Merger Sub will merge with and into Kalera with Kalera as the surviving entity of the Second Merger
and in this context Kalera will issue shares to Pubco. Immediately following and in connection with the Second Merger, the Kalera Shareholders
(except Pubco) will receive shares in the capital of Pubco and contractual contingent value rights (each a “CVR”), which represent
the right to receive up to two contingent payments of Pubco Ordinary Shares, and the holders of the Kalera Options will receive options
in the capital of Pubco and, in the case of holders of In-the-Money Options, CVRs, in each case as consideration for the Kalera Shares
and the Kalera Options being cancelled and ceasing to exist or being assumed (as applicable) upon completion of the Second Merger by way
of the Kalera Capital Reduction. Each CVR represents a contingent right to receive additional Pubco Ordinary Shares, issuable upon the
achievement of certain milestones, including:
Upon consummation of the Second Merger, each Kalera Share outstanding immediately prior to the Second Merger Effective Time will be cancelled and cease to exist in the context of the Kalera Capital Reduction against the issuance of (i) the number of Pubco Ordinary Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio and (ii) one CVR per Kalera Share.
Closing of the Business Combination
The consummation of the First Merger and related transactions (the “First Closing”) will take place on the fifth business day following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to closing set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, unless Agrico and Kalera agree in writing to another date or time. The consummation of the Business Combination (other than those transactions which occur on the First Closing) (the “Second Closing” and together with the First Closing, the “Closings” and each, a “Closing”) will take place on the first business day after the First Closing, unless Agrico and Kalera agree in writing to another date or time.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern Consideration
As of March
31, 2022, the Company had $
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern,” the Company has until July 12, 2022, to consummate an initial business combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate an initial business combination by this time. If an initial business combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Additionally, the Company may not have sufficient liquidity to fund the working capital needs of the Company through one year from the issuance of these financial statements. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should an initial business combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after July 12, 2022.
These unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Risks and Uncertainties
Management is continuing to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that it 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 unaudited condensed financial statements. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in unaudited condensed financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Prospectus which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K annual report filed by the Company with the SEC on April 1, 2022. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or for any future interim periods.
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of 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 shareholder 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 unaudited condensed financial statements 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.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with US 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 and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgement. 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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Offering Costs
Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the Initial Public Offering that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs were 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 issuance of the Class A ordinary shares were charged against the carrying value of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. 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 Ordinary Share
The Company
has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Earnings and losses are shared
pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net loss per ordinary share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number
of ordinary shares outstanding during the periods. We have not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering
and the Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company
accounts for our Class A ordinary share subject to possible redemption in accordance with ASC 480. Class A ordinary shares subject to
mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A
ordinary shares (including Class A ordinary share that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject
to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other
times, Class A ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. Our Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights
that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at March 31, 2022
and December 31, 2021,
Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the re-measurement from initial book value to redemption amount, which approximates fair value. The change in the carrying value of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available), accumulated deficit, and Class A ordinary shares.
As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the ordinary shares reflected on the balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the unaudited condensed financial statements 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 Topic 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. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. 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’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.
11
The Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the periods presented.
Concentration of Credit Risk
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 Depository Insurance Company coverage of $
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 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) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2024 for the Company and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 would have on its 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 financial statements.

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants, Class A ordinary shares underlying the Private Placement Warrants and securities that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans will have registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the Public Offering. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities under the Securities Act. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the underwriter may not exercise its demand and “piggyback” registration rights after (5) and (7) years after the effective date of the registration statement for the initial public offering and may not exercise its demand rights on more than one occasion. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

The foregoing description of the Sponsor Support Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the actual agreement, a form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
Company Holders Support Agreements
In connection with their entry into the Business Combination Agreement, Agrico and Kalera entered into the Kalera Holders Support Agreement with certain shareholders of Kalera, whose names appear on the signature pages thereto (such shareholders, the “Major Shareholders”, and such agreement, the “Kalera Holders Support and Lock Up Agreement”), pursuant to which each Major Shareholder agreed (i) to vote all of such Major Shareholder’s Covered Shares (as defined therein) held by them in favor of the approval and adoption of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination, (ii) to not transfer, prior to the date of the Second Closing, any of such Major Shareholder’s Covered Shares, and (iii) to not transfer any Lock-up Shares until the end of the Lock-up Period (each as defined therein).

Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue
Holders are entitled to one vote for each Class B ordinary share. Holders of the Class A ordinary shares and holders of the Class B ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders, except as required by law. Unless specified in the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, or as required by applicable provisions of Cayman Islands law or applicable stock exchange rules, the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares that are voted is required to approve any such matter voted on by the Company’s shareholders.
The Class B
ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of the initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis
(subject to adjustment for share sub-divisions, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like). In the case that additional
Class A ordinary shares, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in our initial
public offering and related to the closing of the initial Business Combination, the ratio at which Class B ordinary shares shall
convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class B ordinary
shares agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A ordinary
shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B ordinary shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis,

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 30 calendar days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, it will use commercially reasonable best efforts to file, and within 90 calendar days following the initial Business Combination to have declared effective, a registration statement with the SEC covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, to maintain a current prospectus relating to those ordinary shares until the warrants expire or are redeemed. If a registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective within the period specified above following the consummation of the initial Business Combination, public holders of warrants may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, provided that such exemption is available. If the Company’s ordinary shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies 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 elects, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but will be required to use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis.
In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the Class A ordinary share underlying such unit.
Redemption of Warrants for Cash When the Price per Class A Ordinary Share Equals or Exceeds $18.00.
Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may call the warrants for redemption (excluding the Private Placement Warrants):
In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share (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 Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor 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 ordinary shares 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 below under “Redemption” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.
The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Private Warrants (i) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until the completion of the initial Business Combination and (ii) will be entitled to registration rights.

Note 8 — Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
Level 1: | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. |
Level 2: | Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. |
Level 3: | Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. |
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

Note 9 — Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the unaudited condensed financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, other than the subsequent event discussed below, the Company did not identify any other subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.
On April 20, 2022, the Company entered into an amended and restated warrant agreement (the “Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement”) to amend and restate the warrant agreement, dated July 7, 2021 (the “Original Agreement”), by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York limited purpose trust company, in order to correct certain omitted language and other typographical errors found in the Original Agreement. In particular, the Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement clarifies that the Company’s private warrants and working capital warrants, if any, are identical to the public warrants that were included as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
References to the “Company,” “Agrico Acquisition Corp.,” “our,” “us” or “we” refer to Agrico Acquisition Corp. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim condensed 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.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of 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. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other SEC filings.
Overview
We are a Cayman Islands exempted company incorporated on July 31, 2020, for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more target businesses (the “Business Combination”).
Our sponsor is DJCAAC, LLC, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for our IPO was declared effective on July 7, 2021. On July 12, 2021, we consummated our initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering” or “IPO”) of 14,375,000 Units, which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of the over-allotment option to purchase an additional 1,875,000 Units, at $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $143,750,000. Transaction costs of the IPO amounted to $9,998,781, comprised of $2,875,000 of underwriting fees paid at the time of the IPO, $5,031,250 of deferred underwriting fees, $655,031 of other offering costs, and $1,437,500 of the fair value of the representative shares, and was all charged to shareholders’ equity.
Substantially concurrently with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we completed the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of 7,250,000 warrants to the Sponsor and Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”), the underwriter in this offering, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $7,250,000.
Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $146,625,000 (approximately $10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO, including a portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement, was deposited in a trust account (“Trust Account”), located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and was invested in permitted United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, 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 that invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations.
Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination.
18
We will have 12 months (or up to 21 months if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination by the full amount of time) from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or July 12, 2023, to complete the initial Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). However, if we are unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination 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 the our taxes (less up to $50,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
Initial Business Combination
On January 30, 2022, we entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with (i) Figgreen Limited, a private limited company incorporated in Ireland with registered number 606356 (“Pubco”), (ii) Kalera Cayman Merger Sub, a Caymans Islands exempted company (“Cayman Merger Sub”), (iii) Kalera Luxembourg Merger Sub SARL, a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (“Lux Merger Sub” and, together with Cayman Merger Sub, the “Merger Subs”) and (iv) Kalera AS, a Norwegian private limited liability company (the “Kalera”).
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, (i) a merger will occur, pursuant to which Cayman Merger Sub will merge with and into Agrico, with Agrico continuing as the surviving entity and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (the “First Merger”) and Agrico will issue ordinary shares (the “Agrico Ordinary Shares”) to Pubco (the “Agrico Share Issuance”) and the holders of Agrico Ordinary Shares will receive shares in the capital of Pubco and holders of warrants of Agrico (the “Agrico Warrants”) will have their Agrico Warrants assumed by Pubco and adjusted to become exercisable for shares in the capital of Pubco, in each case as consideration for the First Merger and the Agrico Share Issuance, (ii) at least one (1) business day following the First Merger and subject thereto, the second merger will occur, pursuant to which Lux Merger Sub will merge with and into Kalera with Kalera as the surviving entity of the second merger (the “Second Merger”) and in this context Kalera will issue shares to Pubco (the “Kalera Share Issuance”), and (iii) immediately following the Second Merger and the Kalera Capital Reduction (as defined below), the shareholders of Kalera (the “Kalera Shareholders”) (except Pubco) will receive shares in the capital of Pubco and the holders of Kalera’s outstanding options (the “Kalera Options”) will receive options in the capital of Pubco, in each case as consideration for the ordinary shares of Kalera (the “Kalera Shares”) and the Kalera Options being cancelled and ceasing to exist or being assumed (as applicable) upon completion of the Second Merger by way of a capital reduction pursuant to the Luxembourg Companies Act (the “Kalera Capital Reduction”). As a result of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, Kalera will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco.
Upon consummation of the First Merger, (i) each Class A ordinary share (the “Agrico Class A Ordinary Shares”) outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger (the “First Merger Effective Time”) will be automatically cancelled in exchange for and converted into one ordinary share of Pubco (the “Pubco Ordinary Shares”), (ii) each Class B ordinary share (the “Agrico Class B Ordinary Shares”) outstanding immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time will be automatically cancelled in exchange for and converted into one Pubco Ordinary Share, and (iii) each outstanding public Agrico Warrant (the “Agrico Public Warrants”) and private Agrico Warrants will remain outstanding and will automatically be adjusted to become a Pubco Warrant.
Upon consummation of the Second Merger, each Kalera Share outstanding immediately prior to the Second Merger Effective Time will be cancelled and cease to exist in the context of the Kalera Capital Reduction against the issuance of (i) the number of Pubco Ordinary Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio (as defined below) (the aggregate number of Pubco Ordinary Shares so issued, the “Exchange Shares”) and (ii) one CVR per Kalera Share. “Exchange Ratio” means 0.091. The number of Exchange Shares will be determined prior to the Second Merger Effective Time in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and will cause, assuming no public shareholders of Agrico exercise their redemption rights, Kalera Shareholders to own approximately 52% of the issued and outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares.
Consideration
The First Merger: Consideration to Agrico Security holders
The first transaction that comprises the Business Combination is the First Merger, pursuant to which Cayman Merger Sub will merge with and into Agrico, with Agrico surviving and being a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco.
19
Upon consummation of the First Merger, (i) each Agrico Class A ordinary share outstanding immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time will be automatically cancelled in exchange for and converted into one Pubco Ordinary Share (ii) each Agrico Class B ordinary share outstanding immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time will be automatically cancelled in exchange for and converted into one Pubco Ordinary Share, and (iii) each outstanding Agrico Public Warrant and Agrico Private Warrant will remain outstanding and will automatically be adjusted to become a Pubco Warrant, respectively. As a result of the First Merger and the conversion or automatic adjustment (as applicable) of Agrico securities into securities of Pubco, the rights of Agrico security holders will change in material ways.
The Second Merger: Consideration to Kalera Security holders
At least one (1) business day following the First Merger and subject thereto, Pubco, Kalera and Lux Merger Sub will cause the Second Merger to be consummated, pursuant to which Lux Merger Sub will merge with and into Kalera with Kalera as the surviving entity of the Second Merger and in this context Kalera will issue shares to Pubco. Immediately following and in connection with the Second Merger, the Kalera Shareholders (except Pubco) will receive shares in the capital of Pubco and contractual contingent value rights (each a “CVR”), which represent the right to receive up to two contingent payments of Pubco Ordinary Shares, and the holders of the Kalera Options will receive options in the capital of Pubco and, in the case of holders of In-the-Money Options, CVRs, in each case as consideration for the Kalera Shares and the Kalera Options being cancelled and ceasing to exist or being assumed (as applicable) upon completion of the Second Merger by way of the Kalera Capital Reduction. Each CVR represents a contingent right to receive additional Pubco Ordinary Shares, issuable upon the achievement of certain milestones, including: (i) Pubco Ordinary Shares trading at or over a market price of $12.50; and (ii) Pubco Ordinary Shares trading at or over a market price of $15.00, in each case, for 20 trading days within a 30 trading-day period, based on volume-weighted average trading prices. The amount of shares issuable to each CVR holder for the achievement of each milestone is, in each case, a pro rata portion of an amount of Pubco Ordinary Shares equivalent to 5% of the amount of Kalera Shares outstanding as of immediately following the Kalera Capital Reduction on a fully-diluted basis.
Upon consummation of the Second Merger, each Kalera Share outstanding immediately prior to the Second Merger Effective Time will be cancelled and cease to exist in the context of the Kalera Capital Reduction against the issuance of (i) the number of Pubco Ordinary Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio and (ii) one CVR per Kalera Share.
Closing of the Business Combination
The consummation of the First Merger and related transactions (the “First Closing”) will take place on the fifth business day following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to closing set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, unless Agrico and Kalera agree in writing to another date or time. The consummation of the Business Combination (other than those transactions which occur on the First Closing) (the “Second Closing” and together with the First Closing, the “Closings” and each, a “Closing”) will take place on the first business day after the First Closing, unless Agrico and Kalera agree in writing to another date or time.
Results of Operations
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had a net loss of $379,541, which was comprised of mostly general and administrative costs of $386,364 net of interest income of $6,823 from cash and marketable securities in our trust account. The general and administrative expenses were primarily due to fees to professionals such as the auditors, legal counsel and consultants.
The proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will not be released from the Trust Account (1) to us, until the completion of the initial Business Combination, or (2) to the public shareholders, until the earliest of (a) the completion of the initial Business Combination, and then only in connection with those Class A ordinary shares that such shareholders properly elected to redeem, subject to the limitations, (b) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a (A) shareholder vote to amend the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide holders of the Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if we do not complete the initial Business Combination within 21 months from the closing of the Initial public offering (the “Combination Period”), or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of the Class A ordinary shares or pre-initial business combination activity, and (c) the redemption of the public shares if we have not consummated the initial Business Combination within 21 months from the closing of the Initial public offering. Public shareholders who redeem their Class A ordinary shares in connection with a shareholder vote described in clause (b) in the preceding sentence shall not be entitled to funds from the Trust Account upon the subsequent completion of an initial Business Combination or liquidation if we have not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, with respect to such Class A ordinary shares so redeemed. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of our creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the public shareholders.
20
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we earned $6,823 in interest income in the Trust Account. The proceeds held in the Trust Account may only be invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of 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 invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations.
We agreed pay our Sponsor $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support services provided to members of our management team. Upon completion of our initial business combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees. For three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, $30,000 and $0 had been charged to operating expenses, respectively.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern Consideration
As of March 31, 2022, we had $288,426 in cash and a working capital of $81,284. Prior to the completion of our IPO, our liquidity needs had been satisfied through a capital contribution from the Sponsor of $25,000 for the founder shares, the loan under an unsecured promissory note from the Sponsor of up to $200,000, which we borrowed and repaid $171,356 in 2021 and had no outstanding balance as of March 31, 2022.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial 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 our initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that our initial 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 working capital loans may be convertible into private placement-equivalent warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant (which, for example, would result in the holders being issued 1,500,000 warrants if $1,500,000 of notes were so converted), at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. The terms of such working capital loans by our sponsor or its affiliates, or our officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. Prior to the completion of our initial business combination, we do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our trust account. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern,” the Company has until July 12, 2022, to consummate an initial business combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate an initial business combination by this time. If an initial business combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Additionally, the Company may not have sufficient liquidity to fund the working capital needs of the Company through one year from the issuance of these financial statements. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should an initial business combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after July 12, 2022.
These unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
21
Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.
We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or entered into any non-financial agreements involving assets.
Contractual Obligations
Other than the below, we do not have any long-term debt obligations, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations or long-term liabilities.
Administrative Services Agreement
Commencing on the date that our securities are first listed, we agreed to pay the Sponsor $10,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to members of our founding team. Upon completion of the initial Business Combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying such monthly fees. For three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, $30,000 and $0 had been charged to operating expenses, respectively.
Registration Rights
The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants, Class A ordinary shares underlying the Private Placement Warrants and Warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and Warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration and shareholder 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 our completion of the initial Business Combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
On July 12, 2021, we paid an underwriting discount of 2% of the per Unit offering price, or approximately $2,875,000 million in the aggregate at the closing of the Initial Public Offering, and the underwriters are entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or $5,031,250 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will be payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete an initial Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Sponsor Support Agreement
In connection with their entry into the Business Combination Agreement, Agrico and Kalera entered into the Sponsor Support Agreement with DJCAAC LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed (i) to vote the Agrico ordinary shares held by them in favor of the approval and adoption of the Business Combination Agreement and approval of the business combination proposal and the Business Combination, (ii) to not transfer, during the period commencing on the date of the Sponsor Support Agreement and ending on the earlier of (a) the First Closing and (b) the liquidation of Agrico, any Agrico ordinary shares owned by the Sponsor, (iii) to not transfer any Lock-up Shares until the end of the Lock-up Period (each as defined therein), and (iv) to transfer to Agrico, surrender and forfeit a certain amount of Agrico’s Class B ordinary shares in the event that the amount of Agrico ordinary shares redeemed pursuant to the Redemption meet the threshold specified therein.
22
The foregoing description of the Sponsor Support Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the actual agreement, a form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with their entry into the Business Combination Agreement, Agrico and Kalera entered into the Kalera Holders Support Agreement with certain shareholders of Kalera, whose names appear on the signature pages thereto (such shareholders, the “Major Shareholders”, and such agreement, the “Kalera Holders Support and Lock Up Agreement”), pursuant to which each Major Shareholder agreed (i) to vote all of such Major Shareholder’s Covered Shares (as defined therein) held by them in favor of the approval and adoption of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination, (ii) to not transfer, prior to the date of the Second Closing, any of such Major Shareholder’s Covered Shares, and (iii) to not transfer any Lock-up Shares until the end of the Lock-up Period (each as defined therein).
In connection with their entry into the Business Combination Agreement, Agrico and Kalera entered into the Kalera Holders Support Agreement with certain shareholders of Kalera, whose names appear on the signature pages thereto (such shareholders, the “Non-Major Shareholders”, and such agreement, the “Kalera Holders Support Agreement”), pursuant to which each Kalera Shareholder agreed (i) to vote all of such Kalera Shareholder’s Covered Shares (as defined therein) held by them in favor of the approval and adoption of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination and (ii) to not transfer, prior to the date of the Second Closing, any of such Kalera Shareholder’s Covered Shares.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following as our critical accounting policies:
Offering Costs
Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the Initial Public Offering that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs were 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 issuance of the Class A ordinary shares were charged against the carrying value of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. We classify deferred underwriting commissions as non-current liabilities as the liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our Class A ordinary share subject to possible redemption in accordance with ASC 480. Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A ordinary share that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. Our Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 14,375,000 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of our balance sheets.
23
Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount, which approximates fair value. The change in the carrying value of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available), accumulated deficit, and Class A ordinary shares.
Net Loss Per Ordinary Share
We have two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net loss per ordinary share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the periods. We have not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of 14,437,500 of our Class A ordinary shares in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. As a result, diluted net loss per ordinary share is the same as basic net loss per ordinary share for the periods. Accretion associated with the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 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) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2024 for the Company and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 would have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
As a smaller reporting company we are not required to make disclosures under this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our current chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our “Certifying Officers”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that, during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Our internal control over financial reporting did not result in the proper accounting for complex financial instruments, which led to errors in the accounting for our warrants and redeemable Class A Shares. Due to the impact on our financial statements, we determined that we have a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting.
24
In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our unaudited condensed financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
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 and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative 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 conditions.
Management’s Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the SEC for newly public companies.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
We may be subject to legal proceedings, investigations and claims incidental to the conduct of our business from time to time. We are not currently a party to any material litigation or other legal proceedings brought against us. We are also not aware of any legal proceeding, investigation or claim, or other legal exposure that has a more than remote possibility of having a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report are any of the risks described in the Prospectus and in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2021. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors described in the Prospectus or the Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2021 except for the below. 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.
After our initial business combination, substantially all of our assets may be located in a foreign country and substantially all of our revenue will be derived from our operations in such country. Accordingly, our results of operations and prospects will be subject, to a significant extent, to the economic, political and legal policies, developments and conditions in the country in which we operate.
The economic, political and social conditions, as well as government policies, of the country in which our operations are located could affect our business. Economic growth could be uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy and such growth may not be sustained in the future. If in the future such country’s economy experiences a downturn or grows at a slower rate than expected, there may be less demand for spending in certain industries. A decrease in demand for spending in certain industries could materially and adversely affect our ability to find an attractive target business with which to consummate our initial business combination and if we effect our initial business combination, the ability of that target business to become profitable.
We are currently operating in a period of economic uncertainty and capital markets disruption, which has been significantly impacted by geopolitical instability due to the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected by any negative impact on the global economy and capital markets resulting from the conflict in Ukraine or any other geopolitical tensions.
Russian military actions and the resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets, potentially making it more difficult for us to obtain additional funds.
Any of the above mentioned factors could affect our business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict, but could be substantial. Any such disruptions may also magnify the impact of other risks described in the Prospectus or the Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2021.
