Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2, and 3 are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period. The estimated fair value of the Public Warrants transferred from a Level 3 measurement to a Level 1 fair value measurement in March 2021, when the Public Warrants were separately listed and traded. The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants was transferred from a Level 3 measurement to a Level 2 fair value measurement at the same time as Public Warrants, as the transfer of Private Placement Warrants to anyone who is not a permitted transferee would result in the Private Placement Warrants having substantially the same terms as the Public Warrants.The estimated fair value of Public Warrants was transferred from a Level 1 measurement to a Level 2 measurement due to lack of trading activity as of June 30, 2022. There were no other transfers to/ from Levels 1, 2, and 3 during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Level 1 instruments include investments in money market funds that invest solely in U.S. Treasury securities. The Company uses quoted market prices from dealers or brokers, and other similar sources to determine the fair value of its investments.

Level 2 instruments include Private Placement Warrants and Public Warrants. The Company uses the same quoted market prices from dealers or brokers, and other similar sources as Public Warrants to determine the fair value of its investments.

There were no Level 3 measurement inputs used in the six months ended June 30, 2022.

The change in the fair value of the derivative warrant liabilities, measured using Level 3 inputs, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 is summarized as follows:


Derivative warrant liabilities at January 1, 2021	$	—
Issuance of Public and Private Warrants		10,638,000
Transfer of Public Warrants to Level 1		(10,350,000)
Transfer of Private Warrants to Level 2		(288,000)
