As more fully described in, and subject
to the terms and conditions described in, the Company’s final prospectus for its initial public offering, dated [                    ],
2021, the holder(s) of this certificate shall be entitled to receive a pro rata portion of certain funds held in the trust
account established in connection with the Company’s initial public offering only in the event that (i) the Company
redeems the Class A ordinary shares sold in its initial public offering and liquidates because it does not consummate an initial
business combination within the period of time set forth in the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, (ii) the
Company redeems the Class A ordinary shares sold in its initial public offering in connection with a shareholder vote to amend
the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of the Company’s
obligation to provide holders of the Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with the
Company’s initial business combination or to redeem 100% of the Class A ordinary shares if the Company does not complete
its initial business combination within the time period set forth therein or (B) with respect to any other provision relating
to the rights of holders of the Class A ordinary shares, or (iii) if the holder(s) seek(s) to redeem for cash
his, her or its respective Class A ordinary shares in connection with a tender offer (or proxy solicitation, solely in the
event the Company seeks shareholder approval of the proposed initial business combination) setting forth the details of a proposed
initial business combination. In no other circumstances shall the holder(s) have any right or interest of any kind in or to
the trust account.
