At March 31, 2021, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then participate in the earnings. As a result, diluted income per common share is the same as basic net income per common share for the period presented.
Recent Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 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): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. The ASU also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, and it simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2021. Adoption of the ASU did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company’s management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements.
Note 3 — Initial Public Offering
On January 8, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 24,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $240.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $13.3 million, inclusive of approximately $8.4 million in deferred underwriting commissions. The underwriters were granted a 45-day option from the date of the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 3,600,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at $10.00 per Unit. On January 12, 2021, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full and, purchased an additional 3,600,000 units (the “Over-Allotment Units”), generating additional gross proceeds of $36.0 million (the “Over-Allotment”), and incurring additional offering costs of approximately $2.0 million, inclusive of approximately $1.3 million of deferred underwriting commissions.
Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, and one-half of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 6).

Founder Shares
On August 31, 2020, the Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share, to cover certain expenses on behalf of the Company in exchange for the issuance of 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 (the “Founder Shares”). On September 10, 2020, HS Chronos purchased 3,287,412 Founder Shares from the Sponsor for $14,293, or $0.004 per share. On January 5, 2021, the Company declared a share dividend satisfied by way of issuance of 0.2 of a share for each ordinary share issued and outstanding, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 2,955,106 Founder Shares (up to 285,212 shares of which were subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised) and HS Chronos holding an aggregate of 3,944,894 Founder Shares (up to 614,788 shares of which were subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised). All shares and associated amounts have been adjusted to reflect this share dividend. The forfeiture would be adjusted to the extent that the over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriters so that the Founder Shares will represent 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. On January 12, 2021, the underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option; thus, these Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.
