INTERIM DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Introduction
Brigade-M3 European Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank cheque company incorporated under
the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability formed for the purpose of
effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganisation or similar business
combination with an operating company with significant operations in Europe which has positively
benefited from a structural shift caused by the COVID-19 pandemic or has been negatively impacted by a
temporary dislocation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which is referred to herein as a business
combination (“Business Combination”).
The Company was formed by Brigade SPAC Sponsor II LLC (the “Sponsor Entity”). The Sponsor Entity
is controlled by Brigade Capital GP, LLC, which is an affiliate of Brigade Capital Management, LP, together
with the group entities that are affiliated with it by way of common control (“Brigade”). M3 Euro SPAC
Sponsor I, LP (“M3”) is the strategic partner to the Sponsor Entity.
The unaudited condensed interim financial statements cover the period 1 January 2022 to 30 June 2022 (the
Reporting Period”).
Business and Financial Developments
The Company appointed: (i) Cantor-Aurel and Cantor Fitzgerald Europe (“Cantor”) as joint global
coordinators (collectively, the “Joint Global Coordinators”); (ii) Cantor-Aurel as sole bookrunner; (iii)
Brigade Capital UK LLP (the “Financial Adviser” or “Brigade UK”), an affiliate of the Sponsor Entity, as
the financial adviser; (iv) ABN AMRO Bank N.V. as the listing and paying agent, and the warrant agent; and
(v) HSBC Bank plc (the “Escrow Agent”) as escrow agent, in each case, in connection with the Offering
(as defined below) and admission to listing and trading on Euronext Amsterdam of the Units, Ordinary
Shares and Warrants (“Admission”).
On 8 December 2021, the Company offered by way of private placement 25,000,000 units (the “Units”),
each consisting of one ordinary share (an “Ordinary Share”) and one-half (1/2) of a warrant (a
Warrant”), at a price of $10.00 per Unit (the “Offering”). The Offering ended on 10 December 2021,
raising proceeds of $250,000,000, and the Units, Ordinary Shares and Warrants were admitted to listing on
Euronext Amsterdam on 10 December 2021.
The Company has 18 months from 14 December 2021 (the “Settlement Date”) to complete a Business
Combination (the “Business Combination Deadline”).
The Company holds the proceeds of the IPO in an escrow account administered by the Escrow Agent (the
Escrow Account”). As of 30 June 2022, the amount held in the Escrow Account was $255,162,939.
More information about the Company, including the Company's Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) Prospectus
dated 8 December 2021 (the "Prospectus"), which was approved by the Dutch Authority for the Financial
Markets (AFM), can be found on the Company’s website – www.BrigadeM3EAC.com   
The Company is actively seeking to complete a Business Combination prior to the Business Combination
Deadline.
Brigade-M3 European Acquisition Corp.
Interim Directors’ Report
30 June 2022
1
Financial summary as at 30 June 2022:
Escrow Account balance: $255,162,939
Bank account balance: $522,380
Shareholder’s equity: $5,142,443
Share Price: $9.75 (closing price)
Unit Price: $9.80 (closing price)
The Company earned interest income of $163,270 on its escrow account. Furthermore, the Company
generated unrealized capital gains in the Reporting Period attributable to the fair value recognition of the
warrant liabilities. The expenses incurred by the Company in the Reporting Period include, amongst others,
the Share based payment expense, the amortisation of certain IPO costs, legal costs, corporate services,
accounting and tax advisory costs, and other operating expenses. This has resulted in a loss of $15,787,220
during the Reporting Period.
Background and Strategy
The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a Business Combination with an operating company
with significant operations in Europe which has positively benefited from a structural shift caused by the
COVID-19 pandemic or has been negatively impacted by a temporary dislocation caused by the COVID-19
pandemic. The Company focuses primarily on identifying attractive acquisition candidates with strong
business fundamentals under normalised circumstances. The Company also anticipates that these target
companies will have established a viable ESG plan for their future or recognised the potential associated
with establishing such an ESG plan, which will help drive incremental future growth and expansion as
investors and customers are demonstrating an increasing focus on sustainability as a key requirement for
investment or purchases. Accordingly, the search for Business Combination targets may extend across a
wide range of industry sectors and geographies in which the Company believes that it can create shareholder
value. The Directors believe that their and Brigade’s investment and operating expertise across multiple
industry verticals and across companies in all stages of their corporate evolution gives the Company a large,
addressable universe of potential targets in order to enable it to maximise its chances of completing a
Business Combination in a timely manner and to maximise shareholder returns following such a Business
Combination.
The Directors believe that the experience, capabilities, relationships and track record of the Directors,
Brigade and M3 will be instrumental in identifying compelling targets, making the Company an attractive
partner for potential target businesses, enhancing the Company’s ability to complete a successful Business
Combination and, thereafter, improving the performance of the post-Business Combination company in
order to create value for investors.
Notice of any Business Combination EGM, shareholder circular and/or prospectus (as applicable) and any
other meeting documents relating to a proposed Business Combination will be published on the Company’s
website (www.BrigadeM3EAC.com) no later than 21 calendar days prior to the date of the Business
Combination EGM.

laws of the Cayman Islands with registered number 374650.

Board”): are:

Directors remain as disclosed in the Prospectus.
Powers, Responsibilities and Functioning
Pursuant to the Articles of Association, the Directors are granted broad authority to manage the Company’s
business and may exercise all powers in such respect. The Executive Directors manage the Company’s day-
to-day business and operations and implement its strategy. The Non-Executive Directors focus on policy
and supervising the performance of the duties of all Directors and the general state of affairs of the
Company. The Directors may take actions by unanimous written resolution or by a majority vote at a Board
meeting.

Corporate Governance
As a company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, there is no statutory corporate
governance code applicable to the Company. The laws of the Cayman Islands do however provide that
proper corporate governance has to be maintained. Notwithstanding there being no statutory corporate
governance code applicable to the Company, the Company has implemented a corporate governance
framework consisting of (i) a Board the majority of which consists of directors who, in the Company's
estimate, would qualify as independent within the meaning of best practice provision 2.1.8 of the DCGC,
were it to apply to the Company, (ii) an Audit Committee and (iii) corporate governance policies, including a
Code of Ethics, Diversity Policy, Insider Trading Policy and Corporate Governance Guidelines, each as
defined below and each of which can be viewed on the Company’s website (www.BrigadeM3EAC.com).
Audit Committee
The Board has appointed from among its Directors an Audit Committee. The Audit Committee consists of
Ms. Rennick as chairperson and Mr. Rajguru.  The organisation, rules, decision-making and other internal
matters of the Audit Committee have been adopted by the Board and are set out in the Company’s Audit
Committee Charter, available on the Company’s website (www.BrigadeM3EAC.com).
Code of Ethics
The Company has adopted a code of ethics (the "Code of Ethics") requiring it to avoid, wherever possible,
all conflicts of interest, except under guidelines or resolutions approved by the Board (or the Audit
Committee, where applicable). Under the Code of Ethics, conflict of interest situations will include any
financial transaction, arrangement or relationship (including any indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness)
involving the Company. In addition, the Audit Committee, pursuant to the terms of reference of the Audit
Committee, will be responsible for reviewing and approving related party transactions to the extent that the
Company enters into such transactions. The Company’s Code of Ethics is available on the Company’s
website (www.BrigadeM3EAC.com).
Insider Trading Policy
The Company has adopted an insider trading policy (the "Insider Trading Policy") setting out, inter alia,
prohibitions on directly or indirectly conducting or recommending transactions in Company securities while
in the possession of inside information. The Company’s Insider Trading Policy is available on the
Company’s website (www.BrigadeM3EAC.com).
Corporate Governance Guidelines
The Company has adopted corporate governance guidelines (the “Corporate Governance Guidelines”)
relating to, inter alia, (i) board composition and director qualifications; (ii) the Board’s responsibilities; (iii) the
Board’s meetings and related procedures; (iv) director communications, compensation, orientation and
continuing education; (v) leadership development; (vi) the Board’s annual performance evaluation; and (vii)
means of communicating with the Board. The Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines are available
on the Company’s website (www.BrigadeM3EAC.com).
4
Corporate Social Responsibility
The Directors believe that businesses which have established a viable environmental, social and governance
(“ESG”) plan for their future, or that recognise the potential associated with establishing such an ESG plan
will experience enhanced expansion relative to those without such a commitment or opportunity for the
foreseeable future, and the Directors therefore are also focused on ensuring that the target company meets
these criteria. As a consequence, the Company takes into account sustainability and corporate social
responsibility factors when evaluating potential target businesses. The factors that will be evaluated relating
to the sustainability of the business and opportunity for enhancing such sustainability include: the practices,
products and services of the business; the production methods for the products and services, including their
relationship to a low-carbon, prosperous, equitable, healthy and safe society; the nature of revenue and the
likelihood that current earnings are “borrowing” from future earnings; and overall contribution to equality
and long-term benefit to society.
Anti-corruption and Human Rights
The Company complies with the anti-corruption and human rights laws of the countries in which it does
business. The Directors shall not take or cause to be taken any action that would reasonably result in the
Company not complying with such anti-corruption and/or human rights laws. The Directors are responsible
for ensuring that any agents appointed on the Company’s behalf are reputable and uphold the Company’s
standards in this area.
Risks and Risk Management
Risks
The Company is exposed to certain risk factors and events that may or may not occur. A summary of
certain risks is set out in the table below and should be read in conjunction with Part II of the Company’s
Prospectus (available on the Company’s website: www.BrigadeM3EAC.com), which discloses what the
Directors believe are the most material risks concerning the Company’s business, the Units, the Ordinary
Shares and the Warrants, although they may not be the only risks and uncertainties. Additional risks not
known to the Company, or currently believed not to be material, could later turn out to have a material
impact on the Company.

Company
Medium
Risk Management
The Board is ultimately responsible for maintaining effective risk management, which includes the
Company’s risk governance structure, the Company’s system of internal controls and the Company’s audit
approach.
The Company has in place a risk management and internal control system in relation to its financial
reporting process and the process of preparing the financial statements. The Board reviews the effectiveness
of the system of internal financial, operational and compliance controls and the risk management. The
Board examines whether the system of internal controls operated effectively throughout the year (taking
into account that due to the size of the Company and its limited operations, segregation of duties is generally
limited) and will make recommendations when appropriate.
The Board is of the opinion that, to the best of its knowledge:
no deficiencies in the effectiveness of the internal risk and control systems have been identified;
the internal risk management and control systems of the Company provide reasonable assurance that
the financial reporting as included in the financial statements do not contain any material
inaccuracies;
6
there is a reasonable expectation that the Company will be able to continue its operations and meet
its liabilities as set out in the Prospectus, therefore, it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis
in preparing the financial reporting.  This opinion is based on the fact that the Board remains
focused on completing a Business Combination by the Business Combination Deadline; however,
given the time remaining to this deadline, the mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution
requirement, forming this opinion involves significant judgement, including that there remain no
material uncertainties related to identified events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the
entity's ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, such opinion is not dependent on the
Company completing a Business Combination by the Business Combination Deadline.
As set out in the Prospectus, the Company is established for a period of 18 months. No matter how
comprehensive a risk management and control system may be, it cannot be assumed to be exhaustive, nor
can it provide certainty that it will prevent negative developments from occurring in the Company’s business
and business environment or that response to risk will be fully effective. The Company’s risk management
framework is designed to avoid or mitigate rather than to eliminate the risks associated with the
accomplishment of the Company’s strategic objectives. It provides reasonable assurance but not absolute
assurance against material misstatement or loss. In the Reporting Period, the Company has not identified
any major failings in its internal risk management and control system.
2022 Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Statements (“Interim Financial Statements”)
The Directors have reviewed and discussed the June 2022 Interim Financial Statements.
The Directors believe the June 2022 Interim Financial Statements of the Company meet all requirements for
correctness and transparency.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES
The Directors are responsible for preparing the Interim Report. The Interim Report comprises the Interim
Directors’ Report, the Interim Financial Statements and some other information. The Directors are
responsible for preparing the Interim Report in accordance with applicable law and regulations. The
Directors are required by law to prepare the Interim Report for each financial year. The Directors have
prepared the Interim Report in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The
Directors must not approve the Interim Report unless they are satisfied that it gives a true and fair view of
the state of affairs of the Company and of the profit or loss of the Company for that period. In preparing
the Interim Report, the Directors are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable IFRS have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and
explained in the Interim Report; and
prepare the Interim Report on the going concern basis, unless it is inappropriate to presume that
the Company will continue in business.
The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and
explain the Company’s transactions and disclose, with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position
of the Company and enable them to ensure that the Interim Report complies with applicable law. The
Directors have assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal risk management and control systems.
Though such systems are designed to manage and control risks, they can provide reasonable, but not
absolute, assurance against material misstatements. Based on this assessment, to the best of our knowledge
and belief, no material failings of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal risk management and control
systems occurred and the internal risk and control systems provides reasonable assurance that the Interim
Financial Statements do not contain any errors of material importance.
Each of the Directors confirm that to the best of their knowledge:
the Interim Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS, give a true
and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the Company;
the Interim Directors’ Report gives a true and fair view on the situation on the balance sheet date,
the development and performance of the business and the position of the Company of which the
financial information is included in the Interim Directors’ Report and includes a description of the
principal risks that the Company faces; and
having taken all matters considered by the Board and brought to the attention of the Board during
the Reporting Period into account, the Directors consider that the Interim Report, taken as a whole
is fair, balanced and understandable. The Directors believe that the disclosures set out in the
Interim Report provide the information necessary for shareholders to assess the Company’s
position, performance, business model and strategy.
The Directors have reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in
operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, the Directors consider it appropriate to
adopt the going-concern basis in preparing the Interim Report.

1.General information
Brigade-M3 European Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is an exempted company with limited liability,
incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands on 21 April 2021 (date of incorporation). The
Company is registered as exempted because its objects are to be carried out mainly outside the Cayman
Islands. With effect from 17 June 2021, the name of the Company was changed from Brigade European
Acquisition Corp. to Brigade-M3 European Acquisition Corp. The Company is a Special Purpose
Acquisition Company (“SPAC”), formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset
acquisition, share purchase, reorganisation or similar business combination (a “Business Combination”)
with an operating company with significant operations in Europe which has positively benefited from a
structural shift caused by the COVID-19 pandemic or has been negatively impacted by a temporary
dislocation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Company is registered with the Registrar of Companies under incorporation number 374650 and
has its registered office in Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. Brigade SPAC Sponsor II LLC is the
Company's sponsor (the “Sponsor Entity”).
The Company has been listed on the Euronext Amsterdam Stock Exchange (“Euronext Amsterdam”) as
of 8 December 2021, having raised US$ 250,000,000 in its IPO of 25,000,000 units at US$ 10 per unit
(the “Offering”). An over-allotment option existed but was not exercised. These proceeds were placed in
an escrow account as outlined in the prospectus. Each unit is exchangeable for one (1) redeemable
ordinary share and one-half (½) of a public warrant.
The Company has no employees as at 30 June 2022.
2.Summary of significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out
below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
2.1Basis of preparation
These interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2022 have been prepared in
accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, and should be read in conjunction with the
Company’s last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the period ended 31 December
2021 (‘last annual financial statements’). They do not include all of the information required for a
complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Standards. However, selected
explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding
of the changes in the Company’s financial position and performance since the last annual financial
statements.
2.2Use of estimates and judgements
In preparing these financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets
resulting from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

The interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Following the Offering
and prior to the completion of any Business Combination, the Company will not engage in any
operations, other than in connection with the selection, structuring and completion of a Business
Combination.
The Company has 18 months from 14 December 2021 (“Settlement Date”) to complete a Business
Combination, (the “Business Combination Deadline”). The costs related to the Company are expected to
be covered by the proceeds of the issuance of the sponsor warrants as part of the Offering process, as
disclosed in Note 9.
The Sponsor Entity or its affiliates may fund any excess costs through the issuance of debt instruments
to the Company, such as promissory notes, and up to $1,500,000 of such debt instruments may be

If the Company has not completed a Business Combination by such time, it will: (i) cease all operations
except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible redeem the units and
ordinary shares; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the
approval of the remaining shareholders and the 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

2.3Going concern (continued)
The events and conditions that management considers relevant to the Company’s ability to continue as a
going concern include the limited time frame remaining to the Business Combination Deadline and
market conditions inclusive of competition and potential geopolitical events.
Management remain focused on completing a Business Combination by the Business Combination
Deadline. Having considered all relevant information, management have concluded that there are no
material uncertainties related to the identified events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Reaching the conclusion that there is no material
uncertainty involves significant judgement.
In addition, such opinion is not dependent on the Company completing a Business Combination by the
Business Combination Deadline. It is important to note that nothing in this analysis implies that the
Company would be unable to meet its debts as they fall due or to fulfil the above mentioned
redemptions of redeemable ordinary shares should the Company not complete a Business Combination
by the Business Combination Deadline.
2.4New accounting developments
There are no new accounting developments which are expected to have a significant impact on
the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
2.5Functional and presentation currency
(i)Functional currency
Functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company
operates. The majority of the Company’s transactions are denominated in USD. The majority of
expenses are denominated and paid in USD. While shares were originally issued in EUR, on 2
December 2021 they were redenominated to USD, as disclosed in Note 9. Accordingly,
management has determined that the functional currency of the Company is USD.
(ii)Transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into USD at the exchange rate at the dates of the
transactions. Foreign currency assets and liabilities are translated into USD using the exchange rate
prevailing at the reporting date.

2.6Financial instruments
(i)Recognition and initial measurement
The Company initially recognises financial assets and financial liabilities on the date it becomes a
party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Any gains and losses arising from changes in
fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
(“FVTPL”) are recorded in the statement of comprehensive income.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are measured initially at fair value plus or minus, for an item
not at FVTPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue.
(ii)Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial assets
On initial recognition, the Company classifies financial assets as measured at amortised cost or
FVTPL.
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is
not designated as at FVTPL:
-It is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual
cash flows; and
-Its contractual terms give rise on the specified dates to cash flows that are solely
payments of principal and interest.
All financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost as described above are measured at
FVTPL.
Financial assets classified at amortised cost are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method. The amortised cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income,
foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss
on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial assets classified at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses,
including any interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses, are recognised in profit or
loss.

2.6Financial instruments (continued)
(ii)Classification and subsequent measurement (continued)
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised cost or FVTPL.
A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or
it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair
value and net gains or losses, including any interest, are recognised in profit or loss.
Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss.
Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognised in profit or loss.
(iii)Amortised cost
The amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability is the amount at which the financial
asset or financial liability is measured on initial recognition minus the principal repayments, plus or
minus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between
that initial amount and the maturity amount and, for financial assets, adjusted for any loss
allowance.
(iv)Fair value measurement
‘Fair value’ is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal or, in its
absence, the most advantageous market to which the Company has access at that date. The fair
value of a liability reflects its non-performance risk.
When available, the Company measures the fair value of an instrument using the quoted price in
an active market for that instrument. A market is regarded as ‘active’ if transactions for the asset or
liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an
ongoing basis. The Company measures instruments quoted in an active market at a mid-price,
because this price provides a reasonable approximation of the exit price.
If there is no quoted price in an active market, then the Company uses valuation techniques that
maximise the use of relevant observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs. The
chosen valuation technique incorporates all of the factors that market participants would take into
account in pricing a transaction.
The Company recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as at the end of the
reporting period during which the change has occurred.

2.6Financial instruments (continued)
(v)Impairment
The Company recognises loss allowances for expected credit losses (“ECLs”) on financial assets
measured at amortised cost.
The Company measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs, except for the
following, which are measured at 12-month ECLs:
financial assets that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date; and
other financial assets for which credit risk has not increased significantly since initial
recognition.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since
initial recognition and when estimating ECLs, the Company considers reasonable and supportable
information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both
quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Company’s historical
experience and informed credit assessment and including forward-looking information.
The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is
more than 30 days past due.
The Company considers a financial asset to be in default when:
the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Company in full, without recourse
by the Company to actions such as realizing security (if any is held); or
the financial asset is more than 90 days past due.
The Company considers a financial asset to have low credit risk when the credit rating of the
counter party is equivalent to the globally understood definition of ‘investment grade’. The
Company considers this to be BBB or higher per Standard and Poor’s.
Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a
financial instrument. 12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that result from default events that
are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life
of the instrument is less than 12 months).
The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over
which the Company is exposed to credit risk.

2.Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
2.6Financial instruments (continued)
(v)Impairment (continued)
Measurement of ECLs
ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the
present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in
accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Fund expects to receive). ECLs are
discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.
Credit-impaired financial assets
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost are
credit-impaired. A financial asset is ‘credit-impaired’ when one or more events that have a
detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.
Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:
significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;
a breach of contract such as a default or being more than 90 days past due; or
it is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation.
Presentation of allowance for ECLs in the statement of financial position
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross
carrying amount of the assets.
Write-off
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Company has no reasonable
expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof.

(vi)Derecognition
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from
the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in
which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred
or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of
ownership and does not retain control of the financial asset.
The Company derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or
cancelled, or expire. On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying
amount extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or
liabilities assumed) is profit or loss.
2.7Forward derivative agreements
The forward derivative agreements are instruments that give the Company the right, but not the
obligation to issue ("put") ordinary shares at a specified price (the "exercise price") on or before a
predetermined date when such right is exercised by cash settlement.
The value of the forward derivative agreement has two components: time value and intrinsic value. A
forward derivative agreement has a limited life and expires on a certain date. As the expiration date of a
forward derivative agreement approaches, the time value of a forward derivative agreement will decline.
In addition, if the share underlying the forward derivative agreement increases in price, the intrinsic value
of an in the money forward derivative agreement will decline. Further, if the price of the share
underlying the forward derivative agreement exceeds the exercise price of the forward derivative
agreement, the forward derivative agreement will expire worthless.
2.8Cash
Cash represents cash deposits held at financial institutions. Cash is held at major financial institutions.

2.9Share capital receivable
Share capital receivable relates to an amount due from the shareholder for the equity contribution. As
collection is expected in one year or less, they are classified as current assets.
Share capital receivable is recognised initially at fair value. The best evidence of the fair value of share
capital receivable is at transaction price, the amount of consideration that is unconditional, unless it
contains significant financing components when it is recognised at fair value. Subsequent measurement is
at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any loss allowance.
2.10Prepayments
These represent assets for amounts paid prior to the end of the financial period, for which services are
yet to be provided to the Company. Prepayments are presented as current assets unless the service is not
due to be provided within 12 months after the reporting period.
2.11Accrued expenses
These amounts represent liabilities for services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial
period, which are unpaid. Accrued expenses are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due
within 12 months after the reporting period.
Accrued expenses are recognised initially at fair value. The best evidence of the fair value of a financial
instrument at initial recognition is normally the transaction price. Subsequent measurement is at
amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.12Cash held in escrow
Cash held in escrow is subject to legal or contractual restriction by third parties as well as restriction as to
withdrawal or use, including restrictions that require the cash to be used for a specified purpose and
restrictions that limit the purpose for which this cash can be used.

2.13Units
Units comprise of redeemable ordinary shares and public warrants. Each unit is exchangeable for one (1)
redeemable ordinary share and one-half (½) of a public warrant.
      Redeemable ordinary shares
Redeemable ordinary shares are redeemable at the shareholder's option and are classified as financial
liabilities.
Redeemable ordinary shares are recognised initially at fair value. The best evidence of the fair value of a
financial instrument at initial recognition is normally the transaction price. Subsequent measurement is at
amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The ‘effective interest rate’ is calculated on initial recognition of a financial instrument as the rate that
exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial
instrument to:
-the gross carrying amount of the financial asset; or
-the amortised cost of the financial liability.
In calculating amortisation expense, the effective interest rate is applied to the amortised cost of the
liability.
Any amortisation expense on financial liabilities measured at amortised cost is presented in the
statement of comprehensive income as interest expense calculated using the effective interest method.
Public warrants
The public warrants are classified as derivative liabilities measured at FVTPL at each reporting period, in
accordance with IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) and IAS 32 – Financial Instruments: Presentation
(“IAS 32”).
Public warrants are recognised initially at fair value. The fair value of public warrants at initial
recognition was determined by a valuation specialist.
Subsequent measurement is at FVTPL with changes in the fair value recorded in the statement of
comprehensive income.
2.14Sponsor shares
Sponsor shares are not redeemable, do not receive any proceeds on liquidation and are classified as
equity in the statement of financial position.
Sponsor shares are recognised initially at cost. The best evidence of the cost of an equity instrument at
initial recognition is normally the transaction price.

2.15Sponsor warrants
The sponsor warrants are classified as derivative liabilities measured at FVTPL at each reporting period,
in accordance with IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) and IAS 32 – Financial Instruments:
Presentation (“IAS 32”).
Sponsor warrants are recognised initially at fair value. The fair value of sponsor warrants at initial
recognition was determined by a valuation specialist.
Subsequent measurement is at FVTPL with changes in the fair value recorded in the statement of
comprehensive income.
2.16Share based payment reserve
The Sponsor Entity provides services in the form of expertise to assist the Company to identify a
suitable candidate for a Business Combination. In accordance with IFRS 2 – Share-based Payments (“IFRS
2”), the Company will recognise a share based payment expense as it is being provided with services in
the form of expertise from the Sponsor Entity.
The grant-date fair value of equity-settled share based payment arrangements is recognised as an expense
in the statement of comprehensive income with a corresponding increase in a separate reserve within
equity. Service and non-market performance conditions attached to the sponsor shares are not taken into
account in estimating fair value. The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the
period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied.
2.17Taxation
The Company is exempt from all forms of taxation in the Cayman Islands. However, in some
jurisdictions, dividend income, interest income and capital gains may be subject to withholding tax
imposed in the country of origin. The Company presents withholding tax separately from the dividend
income, interest income and investment income in the statement of comprehensive income.
In accordance with IAS 12 - Income taxes (“IAS 12”), the Company is required to recognise a tax liability
when it is probable that the tax laws of foreign countries require a tax liability to be assessed on the
Company’s capital gains sourced from such foreign country, assuming the relevant taxing authorities
have full knowledge of all the facts and circumstances. The tax liability is then measured at the amount
expected to be paid to the relevant taxation authorities, using the tax laws and rates that have been
enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. There is sometimes uncertainty
about the way enacted tax law is applied to offshore investment companies. This creates uncertainty
about whether or not a tax liability will ultimately be paid by the Company. Therefore, when measuring
any uncertain tax liabilities, management considers all of the relevant facts and circumstances available at
the time that could influence the likelihood of payment, including any formal or informal practices of the
relevant tax authorities.

The Company considers interest and penalties on related tax liabilities to be an inseparable element of
the tax liability and accounts for interest and penalties as if they are within the scope of IAS 12. These
amounts would be included within the tax line in the statement of comprehensive income, and the
liability would be included within the income tax liability on the statement of financial position.
2.18Related parties
A party is considered to be related to the Company if:
(i)the party is a person or a close member of that person’s family and that person
has control or joint control over the Company;
has significant influence over the Company; or
is a member of the key management personnel of the Company or of a parent of the Company;
or
(ii)the party is an entity where any of the following conditions applies:
the entity and the Company are members of the same group;
one entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or of a parent, subsidiary or fellow
subsidiary of the other entity);
the entity and the Company are joint ventures of the same third party;
one entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third
entity;
the entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either the
Company or an entity related to the Company;
the entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (i); and
a person identified in (i) has significant influence over the entity or is a member of the key
management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity).
2.19Offering costs
Offering costs consist of costs that are directly related to the Offering and share issuance.
These costs have been charged to the applicable financial instrument using a reasonable allocation
methodology, whether to shareholders’ equity or financial liability, upon issuance of the associated
financial instruments. If the associated financial instrument is a financial liability carried at amortised
cost, the offering costs will be capitalised. If the financial liability is subsequently carried at FVTPL,
offering costs are expensed.
All offering costs were allocated to the applicable financial instruments for the respective financial
periods.

3.Fair value measurement
A number of the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values
for financial assets and liabilities.
The Company has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This
includes a valuation specialist who reports directly to the Board. The Board has overall responsibility for
overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values.
The management team regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If
third party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the
management team assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that
these valuations meet the requirements of the Standards, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in
which the valuations should be classified.
The Company measures fair values using the following fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance
of the inputs used in making the measurements.
Level 1 -
Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 -
Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset
or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).
Level 3 - 
Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is,
unobservable inputs).
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal or, in its absence, the
most advantageous market to which the Company has access at that date. The fair value of a liability
reflects its non-performance risk.
When measuring the fair value of an asset or liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as
possible. The determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgement by
management. Fair values of financial assets and liabilities that are traded in active markets are based on
quoted market prices or price quotations from a broker that provides an unadjusted price from an active
market for identical instruments. A market is regarded as “active” if transactions for the asset or liability
take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an on-going basis.
The determination of fair value for financial assets and financial liabilities for which there is no
observable market price requires the use of valuation techniques. For financial instruments that trade
infrequently and have little price transparency, fair value is less objective, and requires varying degrees of
judgement depending on liquidity, concentration, uncertainty of market factors, pricing assumptions and
other risks affecting the specific instrument.
The objective of valuation techniques is to arrive at a fair value measurement that reflects the price that
would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date.

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements

3.Fair value measurement (continued)
Valuation techniques
If there is no quoted price in an active market, then the Company uses valuation models such as Black
Scholes Option Pricing Model which has been used in valuing sponsor warrants and the Monte Carlo
Simulation Model for valuing public warrants. These models maximise the use of relevant observable
inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs. These valuation techniques incorporate all of the
factors that market participants would take into account in pricing a transaction. They will also consider
or take into account the contract terms (including the strike price and contract maturity) and multiple
inputs (including the price of the Company's ordinary shares, volatility, risk-free rate and the term to the
Company's business combination). Valuation techniques include the use of methods to determine key
inputs such as volatility. Volatility is assessed by comparison with similar instruments for which
observable market prices exist.
Valuation models that employ significant unobservable inputs require a higher degree of management
judgement and estimation in the determination of fair value. Management judgement and estimation are
usually required for the selection of the appropriate valuation model to be used.
The fair value of the financial instruments are determined by the Board upon consultation with a
valuation specialist with reference to significant unobservable inputs. Fair values reflect the credit risk of
the Company and the instruments themselves.
The valuation specialist has used a net present valuation calculation in determining the fair value of the
forward derivative agreement, incorporating the present value of funding cost, expected term and the
risk-free rate, to value this financial instrument.
In order to value the public warrants, the valuation specialist has used a Monte Carlo Simulation Model
because this can explicitly model the possibility of redemption at the option of the Company. Which can
happen at any point within the public warrant’s exercise period. The Black Scholes Option Pricing Model
was instead considered in determining the value of sponsor warrants because the path-dependent nature
of the redemption provisions do not apply to the sponsor warrants.

The forward derivative agreement has not been included in the above table because it was valued based
on either observable market inputs or unobservable inputs that were not deemed to be significant. 
Although management believes that its estimates of fair value are appropriate, the use of different
methodologies or assumptions could lead to different measurements of fair value. For warrant liabilities,
an increase or decrease of 5% in the fair value would have the following effects on net income for the
period:

(91,303)
The favorable and unfavorable effects of using reasonably possible alternative assumptions for the
valuation of warrant liabilities have been calculated by recalibrating the model values using unobservable
inputs. The most significant unobservable input is expected volatility which uses implied volatilities from
selected comparable publicly traded warrants. The model was recalibrated using a volatility range based
on the resulting distribution of implied volatilities. The actual assumption used in the valuation was 0.4%
for both the public warrants and the sponsor warrants.

5.Financial risk management
The Audit Committee monitors the effectiveness of the Company's internal control systems, internal
audit system and risk management system with respect to financial reporting. Financial risks principally
include market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. There has been no change during the period to the
manner in which these risks are managed and measured.
5.1.Market risk management
Market risk is the risk that the value of financial assets will fluctuate as a result of changes in market
prices whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual assets or factors affecting all
assets in the market. Market risk includes interest, currency and other market price risk.
Interest risk
As at 30 June 2022, the majority of the Company’s restricted cash held in escrow is held in an interest-
bearing account denominated in USD. As such, the Company is primarily exposed to the financial risks
associated with the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing levels of interest rates on its financial position
and cash flows.
A cash flow sensitivity analysis for the variable rate cash held in escrow has not been included because it
is not deemed significant.
Currency risk
As at 30 June 2022, the Company did not hold any financial assets or financial liabilities denominated in
currencies other than its functional currency. Consequently, the Company is not directly exposed to risks
associated with fluctuating exchange rates. As the Company has minimal exposure to currency risk,
management considers that no foreign exchange rate sensitivity analysis is required.

5.Financial risk management (continued)
5.1.Market risk management (continued)
Other market price risk
As at 30 June 2022, the Company holds financial assets and financial liabilities that are valued by the
valuation specialists including the forward derivative agreement, sponsor warrants and public warrants,
included in units. These financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value using the
unobservable inputs and therefore a sensitivity analysis of other marker price risk is not relevant.
5. 2.Liquidity risk management
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may not be able to generate sufficient cash resources to settle
its obligations in full as they fall due or can only do so on terms that are materially disadvantageous.
The Company’s liquidity needs were satisfied prior to the completion of the Offering through receipt of
$10,850,000 from the issuance of sponsor warrants, of which $3,350,000 was allocated to the payment of
Company expenses. As at 30 June 2022, the cash available in the current account, amounting to $522,380
will be used to settle the operational costs of the Company.
Units are convertible into redeemable ordinary shares and public warrants. The Company is then
obligated to offer holders of its redeemable ordinary shares with validly exercised redemption rights the
right to redeem their ordinary shares for cash at the time of the Business Combination or to redeem
100% of the ordinary shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination by the Business
Combination Deadline. The Company will provide its ordinary shareholders with the opportunity to
redeem all or a portion of their ordinary shares upon the completion of the Business Combination,
irrespective of whether and how they vote at the general meeting convened to approve the Business
Combination.
If the Company fails to complete its Business Combination prior to the Business Combination Deadline,
it will redeem the redeemable ordinary shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate
amount then on deposit in escrow, including interest earned on the funds held in escrow divided by the
number of then outstanding ordinary shares.
The Company does not currently believe that it will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the
expenditure required for operating its business until the completion of the Business Combination.
However, it may need to raise additional funds, if such funds were to be required to complete the
Business Combination and/or to finance the redemption of the redeemable ordinary shares. The
Sponsor Entity has the option to fund any excess costs through the issuance of debt instruments to the
Company, such as promissory notes. Up to $1,500,000 of such debt instruments may be converted into
additional sponsor warrants at a price of $1.00 per sponsor warrant at the option of the Sponsor Entity. 
Other than as contemplated above, the Company does not intend to raise additional financing or debt
prior to the completion of the Business Combination.

5. 3.Credit risk management
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in
financial loss to the Company.
The majority of the assets of the Company comprise cash and cash held in escrow that is held in separate
trust accounts with HSBC and Goldman Sachs. The probability of default of these custodians is deemed
low based on the following credit ratings as at 30 June 2022:

5. 3.Credit risk management (continued)
Counterparty risk
The Company is exposed to counterparty risk from the potential failure of Brigade-M3 European FPA
L.P, a related party, to settle the exercised forward derivative agreement. The maximum risk of loss from
counterparty risk to the Company is the fair value of the derivative contract. The Company considers the
effects of counterparty risk when determining the fair value of its forward agreement derivative. Forward
derivative agreements are recognised initially at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition they are
measured at FVTPL.
5. 4.Capital risk management
The Sponsor Entity or its affiliates may fund any excess costs through the issuance of debt instruments
to the Company, as disclosed in note 5.2.
6.Acquisition
The Company made no acquisitions during the period ended 30 June 2022.
7.Share capital receivable
Share capital receivable relates to a receivable from the Sponsor Entity for its equity contribution. At 30
June 2022, the subscription receivable carrying amount of $625 approximates fair value due to the short-
term nature of the asset.
8.Cash held in escrow
Cash held in the interest bearing escrow account comprise 100% of the proceeds from the Offering and,
in the event that the Business Combination is successful, will be used to satisfy the cash requirements of
the Business Combination, including funding the purchase price, paying related expenses and retaining
specified amounts to be used by the post-Business Combination company for working capital or other
purposes.
As per the Company's prospectus, the Company will have legal ownership of the cash amounts
contributed by ordinary and sponsor shareholders, and the Board will have the authority and power to
spend such amounts. In an effort to ensure that the amounts committed by ordinary shareholders are
used for no other purposes as described above, the Company has entered into an escrow agreement with
HSBC Bank Plc to create a variable interest escrow account.
The gross proceeds from the Offering are deposited in the escrow account and the amounts held in the
escrow account are held in cash.  The total balance in the escrow account at 30 June 2022 was
$255,162,939, of which $250,000,000 is held for the Business Combination and $5,000,000 relates to an
escrow overfunding, expected to be $0.20 per ordinary share and $162,939 which relates to interest
earned on the account.

9.Capital instruments
9.1  Authorised share capital
The authorised share capital of the Company at 30 June 2022 is $53,000 divided into 250,000,000
ordinary shares of a par value of $0.0001 each, 30,000,000 sponsor shares of a par value of $0.0001 each
and 250,000,000 unit shares of a par value of $0.0001. The sponsor shares were originally issued in EUR
but they were redenominated into USD by way of an ordinary resolution on 2 December 2021.
9.2  Sponsor shares
On 21 April 2021, the single sponsor share issued on incorporation was surrendered for no
consideration and cancelled. On 13 May 2021, the Company issued 7,187,500 sponsor shares of €0.0001
(“Euro Sponsor Shares”) to the Sponsor Entity at their par value. While shares were originally issued in
EUR, on 2 December 2021 they were redenominated to USD.  On 22 December 2021, 937,500 of the
total sponsor shares acquired by the Sponsor Entity were forfeited for no consideration. The total
remaining 6,250,000 sponsor shares, held by the Sponsor Entity and the Directors, constitute the
Company's sole equity as at 30 June 2022.
The sponsor shares shall automatically convert into ordinary shares, subject to the satisfaction of certain
performance-related conditions.
The sponsor shares will rank pari passu with each other and holders of the sponsor shares will be entitled
to dividends and other distributions declared and paid on them. Each sponsor share carries the
distribution and liquidation rights as included in the articles of association and the right to attend and to
cast one vote at a general meeting of the Company (including at the Business Combination general
meeting), however, the Sponsor Entity and the Directors have entered into a letter agreement with the
Company pursuant to which they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from cash held in
escrow with respect to sponsor shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination by the
Business Combination Deadline. The sponsor shares will not be admitted to listing or trading on any
trading platform.
The Sponsor Entity and the Directors are unable to transfer any sponsor shares until the earlier a) of one
year after the Business Combination completion date and b) subsequent to the Business Combination, x)
if the last reported sale price of the ordinary shares exceeds $12.00 per ordinary share for any 20 trading
days within any 30 trading day period commencing at least 150 calendar days after the Business
Combination completion date or y) the date following the consummation of the Business Combination
on which the Company completes a strategic transaction.

9.3  Sponsor warrants
On 6 December 2021, the Sponsor Entity entered into an agreement to purchase 10,850,000 sponsor
warrants at a price of $1.00 per sponsor warrant, the proceeds of which will be used as follows: (i)
$2,500,000 for the public offering commission cover; (ii) $3,350,000 for offering and running costs; and
(iii) $5,000,000 for the escrow overfunding.
Each of the sponsor warrants are exercisable 30 days after completion of the Business Combination.
Each sponsor warrant entitles the warrant holder to exercise a warrant into an ordinary share at a strike
price of $11.50. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination by the Business
Combination Deadline, the sponsor warrants will expire worthless.
The sponsor warrants are identical to the warrants underlying the units being sold in the Offering, except
that (i) the ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the sponsor warrants will not be transferable,
assignable, convertible or saleable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject
to limited exceptions; (ii) the sponsor warrants may be exercised by the Sponsor Entity on either a cash
or cashless basis; (iii) a portion of the sponsor warrants may be redeemed upon completion of a Business
Combination as described in and subject to the order of payments being followed as set out in the
prospectus; and (iv) the sponsor warrants will not be admitted to listing or trading on any trading
platform.
9.4  Units
Units comprise of redeemable ordinary shares and public warrants. Each unit is exchangeable for one (1)
redeemable ordinary share and one-half (½) of a public warrant.
On 6 December 2021, the Sponsor Entity subscribed for 28,750,000 redeemable ordinary shares,
14,375,000 public warrants and 3,750,000 of the units for the over-allotment option (collectively the
“Subscription”) at their respective par values. The Subscription of the redeemable ordinary shares and
units was then redeemed by the Company for the same par values. The subscription of the public
warrants was, on the Settlement Date, redeemed by the Company for the same par values. After
completion of these transactions the Company held 28,750,000 redeemable ordinary shares and
14,375,000 public warrants in treasury to effect the redemption of units and 3,750,000 units were held in
treasury to effect the over-allotment option.  Ultimately the over-allotment option was not exercised.

9.4  Units (continued)
i.Redeemable ordinary shares attributable to units
The redeemable ordinary shares will rank pari passu with each other and holders of the redeemable
ordinary shares will be entitled to dividends and other distributions declared and paid on them. Each
redeemable ordinary share carries the distribution and liquidation rights as included in the articles of
association and the right to attend and to cast one vote at a general meeting of the Company (including
at the Business Combination general meeting).
The Company will provide ordinary shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their
ordinary shares upon the consummation of the Business Combination at a per-share price, payable in
cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in escrow calculated as of two trading days prior to
the consummation of the Business Combination, divided by the number of then issued and outstanding
ordinary shares (not held in treasury). As at 30 June 2022, the Company has issued 11,676,140
redeemable ordinary shares, with the remainder held in treasury.
ii.Public warrants attributable to units
Each whole public warrant entitles the warrant holder to purchase one ordinary share at a price of $11.50
per ordinary share at any time commencing on 30 days following the Business Combination completion
date. The public warrants will expire on the date that is five years following the date on which they first
became exercisable, or earlier upon redemption of the public warrants or liquidation of the Company. A
public warrant holder may exercise only whole public warrants at a given time. No fractional public
warrants will be issued or delivered upon exchange of the units and only whole public warrants will trade
on Euronext Amsterdam. Accordingly, unless an investor purchases at least two units, it will not be able
to receive or trade a whole public warrant. The public warrant holders in such capacity do not have the
rights of shareholders or any voting rights until they exercise their public warrants and receive ordinary
shares. After the issuance of ordinary shares upon exercise of the public warrants, such ordinary shares
will entitle the holder to the same rights as any other ordinary shareholder.
Once the public warrants become exercisable (and prior to their expiration), the Company has the ability
to redeem the outstanding public warrants in accordance with the terms and conditions as set out in the
prospectus.  As at 30 June 2022, the Company has issues 5,838,070 public warrants, with the remainder
held in treasury.

iii.Treasury
After the Offering, 28,750,000 redeemable ordinary shares, 14,375,000 public warrants and 3,750,000
units were held in treasury. On 22 December 2021, 3,750,000 of the total redeemable ordinary shares,
1,875,000 of the total public warrants and 3,750,000 of the total units, acquired by the Sponsor Entity
and held in treasury were surrendered for no consideration and cancelled.
The redeemable ordinary shares and public warrants held in treasury have been admitted to listing and
trading on Euronext Amsterdam, and held in treasury for the purpose of facilitating the exchange of
units into redeemable ordinary shares and public warrants.  As long as redeemable ordinary shares are
held in treasury, they do not yield dividends, do not entitle the holder to voting rights, and do not count
towards the calculation of dividends or voting percentages. As long as any public warrants are held in
treasury, they will not be converted.

10.Operating costs
As at 30 June 2022, total operating costs of the Company for the period ended 30 June 2022 amounted
to $1,388,513, which includes underwriting discount expense of $788,185 and insurance expense of
$305,000.

The weighted average number of shares does not consider redeemable ordinary shares because these
instruments are not accounted for as equity, but rather as a financial liability.
12.2.Diluted net earnings per share
The Company has reviewed the dilution factors and concluded that there are no instruments that have
dilutive potential as at 30 June 2022. As there is uncertainty as to the likelihood of an initial Business
Combination, the potential dilutive effects of redeemable ordinary shares, sponsor warrants and public
warrants have not been factored into the above weighted average number of shares. The conditions for
conversion of these instruments to equity have not been satisfied at the reporting date. When the
Business Combination has occurred, the redeemable ordinary shares will become equity and will no
longer be a financial liability, hence the dilutive effect is not considered in the diluted earnings per share
calculation. As a result, diluted earnings per share is deemed to be the same as basic earnings per share as
at 30 June 2022 (see note 12.1).

13.Contingent settlement provision
The underwriter has agreed to defer part of its underwriting commission, amounting to $11,250,000 or
4.5% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering. This deferred underwriter commission will
become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in escrow solely in the event that the
Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
The Company has recognised a contingent settlement provision related to deferred underwriter
commission in these financial statements. This contingent settlement provision was initially recognised at
fair value as at the Settlement Date and subsequently recognised at amortised cost. The fair value at
initial recognition of the contingent settlement provision was determined by discounting the total
deferred commissions using management's estimate of the probability of Business Combination and the
adjusted risk free rate at the Settlement Date. Further, fair value of the contingent settlement provision is
estimated for the purposes of disclosure in note 16. Management's estimate of the probability of business
combination at Settlement Date for the purposes of initial recognition and as at the financial reporting
date for the purposes of disclosure in note 16, is an unobservable input that requires significant
judgment. Subsequent measurement of the contingent settlement provision at amortised cost is
determined by estimating the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments through the
expected life of the financial liability to the amortised cost of the financial liability. As of 30 June 2022,
management determined that it was probable that a business combination would occur (i.e. that there is a
greater than 50% probability that a business combination would occur). Accordingly, estimated future
cash payments are 100% of the amount required to be settled. Significant judgment has been applied in
the determination of the probability of business combination. The fair value of the contingent settlement
provision as at 30 June 2022 has been estimated at $5,584,928.
14.Related party transactions
All legal entities that can be controlled, jointly controlled or significantly influenced by the Company are
considered to be a related party. Also, entities which can control, jointly control or significantly influence
the Company are considered a related party. In addition, statutory and supervisory directors and close
relatives are regarded as related parties.
Share based payments between the Company and the Sponsor Entity have been recognised, as disclosed
in note 17.
The sponsor shares carry voting rights of 20% of total shares eligible to vote, of which the directors hold
0.3%.

14.Related party transactions (continued)
The Company entered into a forward derivative agreement with Brigade-M3 European FPA L.P. (the
"Purchaser") on 6 December 2021. The terms of the agreement state that the Company shall issue and
sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase from the Company, at the Company’s discretion,
up to 2,500,000 shares at an exercise price of $10 per ordinary share. The agreement may be terminated
any time prior to the forward agreement derivative's closing, either by mutual consent of the Company
and the Purchaser or it will automatically terminate if the Business Combination is not consummated
within 18 months. Total fair value of the forward agreement derivative as at 30 June 2022 was $12,250.
On 8 December 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with a related party, Brigade Capital UK
LLP, as Financial Advisor, pursuant to which the related party will assist the Company in identifying
suitable target companies. As consideration for services provided the Company will pay advisor fees of
$2,500,000, contingent on a successful Business Combination.
There were no other related party transactions for the period ending 30 June 2022.

17.Share based payment reserve
The Sponsor Entity has provided services in the form of expertise and guidance to assist the Company
in achieving the Business Combination, in exchange for sponsor shares
The Sponsor Entity acquired 7,187,500 sponsor shares at par value of $0.0001 which will convert to
ordinary shares on a basis of 20% of the total ordinary shares. 937,500 of the total sponsor shares
acquired by the Sponsor Entity were forfeited for no consideration on 22 December 2021 following the
decision not to exercise the over-allotment. In order for the sponsor shares to convert to ordinary
shares, a Business Combination would have to occur and market conditions, such as certain target share
prices in the promote schedule as per the prospectus need to be achieved.
As the Company will trade its own ordinary shares as consideration for services received, the share based
payment is treated as equity-settled. The vesting period is the 18 months over which the Company has to
complete a Business Combination. The grant date is considered to be the date of Offering. The value of
services received is determined by a valuation specialist with reference to the fair value of the sponsor
shares issued.
The valuation specialist has used a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the fair value of the sponsor
shares. Non-market performance conditions have not been taken into account when estimating the fair
value such as the probability of Business Combination. The key inputs used in the measurement of the
fair values at grant date of the sponsor shares were the initial stock price, volatility, expected term and
the restriction period after the initial Business Combination.
As of grant date the fair value of each sponsor share was $8.44. The difference between the total
consideration received by the Company for the sponsor shares and their fair value at the Offering date
was $52,744,375. This will be pro-rated over the period to the Business Combination Deadline and
recognised in equity as a share based payment reserve. The associated expense for the Reporting Period
amounts to $17,436,953 which is reflected in the statement of comprehensive income as a share based
payment expense.
18.Subsequent events
The Company has evaluated the effect of all subsequent events occurring through 29 September 2022,
the date the financial statements were available to be issued, and has determined that there were no
subsequent events requiring adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements.
