Recurring Fair Value Measurements
NOTE 8 — RECURRING FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP (as defined on p.8) establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers consist of:
 
   
Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;
 
   
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
 
   
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
At March 31, 2023, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $360,764,194 in money market funds which are invested primarily in U.S. Treasury securities. Through March 31, 2023, the Company did not withdraw any interest income from the Trust Account.
At December 31, 2022, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $356,976,495 in money market funds which are invested primarily in U.S. Treasury securities. Through December 31, 2022, the Company did not withdraw any interest income from the Trust Account.
The following table presents fair value information as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company used a Monte Carlo model to value the private warrants. The estimated fair value of the public and private warrant liability is determined using Level 3 inputs. If factors or assumptions change, the estimated fair values could be materially different. Inherent in a binomial options pricing model are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield.
The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 3 fair value measurements:

Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2 and 3 are recognized at the end of the reporting period in which a change in valuation technique or methodology occurs. The estimated fair value of the Public Warrants transferred from a Level 3
measurement
to a Level 1 fair value measurement for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was approximately $10.1 million.
 
There were no transfers to/from Levels 1, 2, and 3 during the period ended March 31, 2023 and during the year ended December 31, 2022.
