(b) The address of the principal business and principal office of each of the Sponsor and Richard Li is c/o 38/F Champion Tower, 3 Garden Road, Central, Hong Kong. The address of the principal business and principal office of FWD Life is14th, 16th, 26th - 29th Floor, 130-132 Sindhorn Building Tower 3, Wireless Road, Lumpini, Pathumwan, Bangkok 10330, Thailand. The address of the principal business and principal office of FWD Fuji is 2-2-5 Nihonbashi-Honcho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, Japan.

(c) The Sponsor is not an operating entity. It has served as sponsor of the Issuer prior to its IPO (as defined below) and holds securities of the Issuer. Richard Li currently serves as founder, chairman, and chief executive of Pacific Century Group. Each of FWD Life and FWD Fuji is a life insurance carrier.

(d) None of the Reporting Persons has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

(e) None of the Reporting Persons has, during the last five years, been a party to civil proceeding of a judicial administrative body of competent jurisdiction and, as a result of such proceeding, was, or is subject to, a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, Federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

(f) The Sponsor is a Cayman Islands exempted company. Mr. Li is a citizen of Canada. FWD Life is Thai public limited company. FWD Fuji is Japanese joint stock company.

The aggregate purchase price for the Ordinary Shares currently beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons was $69,025,000. The source of these funds was the working capital of the Sponsor and its affiliates.

In connection with the organization of the Issuer, on November 3, 2021, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 15,812,500 Class B Ordinary Shares (the “Founder Shares”) for $25,000. In December 2020, the Sponsor returned to the Issuer for cancellation, at no cost, an aggregate of 10,062,500 Founder Shares, and transferred 947,097 Founder Shares to the Issuer’s Chief Executive Officer, 299,241 Founder Shares to an affiliate of the sponsor and 5,000 Founder Shares to each of the Issuer’s independent directors and senior advisor, which amounts have been adjusted for the share dividend in January 2021 of 0.3 shares for each Ordinary Share in issue, as well as transfers back to the Sponsor by the Issuer’s independent directors and senior advisor of Founder Shares which they received as a result of the share dividend. On January 28, 2021, in connection with the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, no Founder Shares were subject to forfeiture, resulting in the Sponsor owning 6,208,662 Class B Ordinary Shares on such date.

The Class B Ordinary Shares are not registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Class B Ordinary Shares will be automatically converted into Class A Ordinary Shares upon the consummation of a business combination by the Issuer. Although a business combination will not occur within 60 days of this filing, the Reporting Persons are filing this Schedule 13D to reflect that each of the Sponsor, FWD Life and FWD Fuji may be deemed to be under indirect common control by Mr. Li. Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of securities that are not deemed to be beneficially owned by them pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act.

On January 28, 2021, simultaneously with the consummation of the Issuer’s initial public offering (“IPO”), the Sponsor purchased 12,960,000 warrants (the “Placement Warrants”) at a price of $0.50 per Placement Warrant, pursuant to a Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreement, dated January 25, 2021, by and between the Issuer and the Sponsor (the “Subscription Agreement”), as more fully described in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D, which information is incorporated herein by reference. Each Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Class A Ordinary Share, at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share (as described more fully in the Issuer’s Final Prospectus dated January 25, 2021).

On January 28, 2021, FWD Life and FWD Fuji purchased 3,650,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and 3,250,000 Class A Ordinary Shares, respectively, in the Issuer’s IPO for $10.00 per share (as described more fully in the Issuer’s Final Prospectus dated January 25, 2021).

The Ordinary Shares owned by the Reporting Persons have been acquired for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons may make further acquisitions of the Ordinary Shares from time to time and, subject to certain restrictions, may dispose of any or all of the Ordinary Shares held by the Reporting Persons at any time depending on an ongoing evaluation of the investment in such securities, prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities and other factors. However, certain of such shares are subject to certain lock-up restrictions as further described in Item 6 below.

Except for the foregoing, the Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) and (c) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

With respect to paragraph (b) of Item 4, the Issuer is a newly organized blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Under various agreements between the Issuer and certain Reporting Persons as further described in Item 6 below, the Sponsor has agreed (A) to vote its shares in favor of any proposed business combination; (B) not to redeem any shares in connection with a shareholder vote (or tender offer) to approve (or in connection with) (i) a proposed initial business combination or (ii) an amendment to certain provisions of the Issuer’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association; and (C) not to redeem any Founder Shares in connection with the liquidation of the Trust Account (as defined below) if the Issuer fails to complete an initial business combination within 24 months from the completion of its IPO. The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider its position, change its purpose or formulate plans or proposals with respect to the Issuer.

(a)-(b) The aggregate number and percentage of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons (on the basis of a total of 37,375,000 Ordinary Shares, including 29,900,000 shares of Class A Ordinary Shares and 7,475,000 shares of Class B Ordinary Shares, outstanding as of January 28, 2021, as reported by the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed by the Issuer with the SEC on January 28, 2021) are as follows:

Richard Li, by virtue of his indirect ownership of the sole member of the Sponsor, may be deemed to beneficially own Class B Ordinary Shares held by the Sponsor. In addition, by virtue of his indirect majority ownership of FWD Group Limited, an indirect majority parent of FWD Life and FWD Fuji, Mr. Li may be deemed to beneficially own Class A Ordinary Shares held by such entities.

(c) None of the Reporting Persons has effected any transactions of the Issuer’s Ordinary Shares during the 60 days preceding the date of this report, except as described in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D which information is incorporated herein by reference.

(d) Not applicable.

(e) Not applicable.
